150.11985 RAAM QuestionMOSAIC::CRITZR. Scott CritzThu Sep 25 1986 16:468
    	This might not be the place to ask, but...
    
    	In the 1985 RAAM, a Canadian rider (riding without any support
    	vehicle) was hit by a U-haul truck. I never heard anymore about
    	it. Just wondering of anyone out there knows who he is and,
    	more important, how he is?

re: .1

The last I heard, he was paralyzed. I believe it is from the neck down.

    the world's.  
150.4It was Wayne PhillipsNOVA::FISHERMon Sep 29 1986 08:3712
The current Bicycle USA says, "from the waist down after being stricken
by a hit and run driver in Eastern New Mexico."  I have never seen a report
of a "U-haul truck."

There have been several fundraisers for Wayne Phillips.  One was the Lon and
Susan tandem cross country ride earlier this year.

There was an article about Wayne a few months ago that reported of his good
spirits in rehabilitations and his joy at being presented a new, lighter
wheelchair.  (He remarked that it would be faster too).
