Another Bush bike accident takes out Scottish Policman...
Edited on Mon Feb-27-06 12:50 PM by Jade Fox
Ths Scottish accident report on this has just come to light. It happened last year. The officer was off work for 14 WEEKS!

And to think Scott didn't fill in the American Press about it. :eyes:

HE MAY be the most powerful man in the world, but proof has emerged that President George Bush cannot ride a bike, wave and speak at the same time.

Scotland on Sunday has obtained remarkable details of one of the most memorably bizarre episodes of the Bush presidency: the day he crashed into a Scottish police constable while cycling in the grounds of Gleneagles Hotel.

The incident, which will do little to improve Bush's accident-prone reputation, began when he took to two wheels for a spot of early-evening exercise during last year's G8 summit at the Perthshire resort.

-snip-

As he did this he lost control of the cycle, falling to the ground, causing both himself and his bicycle to strike on the lower legs. fell to the ground, striking his head. The President continued along the ground for approximately five metres, causing himself a number of abrasions. The officers... then assisted both injured parties."

2. um, I remember when this happened
there was a lot of coverage.

And the guy broke his ankle, for a cop who spends all of his time on his feet, that can be a long recovery time.
