john carney + hit and run (!!!) = badly broken leg
Ugh - just got back from visiting John.
The whole thing happened late Saturday night (around 5:30am???) down on Delancey + Allen. He and Nicole were walking west crossing Allen and John got clipped out of nowhere as a car took the corner too fast (if you've ever crossed this intersection you'll know what I'm talking about).
The car threw him in the air and into the street (hence cuts to the face) and the driver just took off. Luckily people on the street (at 5am!) were able to help out.
John's okay though his right leg is bused up pretty bad - broken in a few places (can you see how swollen it is? The splint barely fits!). He goes into surgery tomorrow to get some pins put in and he'll be in a boot and on crutches for a while after. (cue: Dianne's "crutches are going to be HUGE in 07" theory). Nicole walked away without a scratch.
There was a waiting line of people to see him ("4 people at a time, please") and we were all joking about how he must be so sick of re-telling the story already (esp less than 24 hrs after). Sooooo... for anyone who paid a visit, add your entry to the "John Carney Broke His Leg" FAQ below. :)
ps: he's got his cell, so call or text if you want to say hi.
