CouchSurfer in Florida seriously injured in bicycle crash

Nancy Heinrich was seriously injured with possible brain injuries in a bike accident several days ago. She was starting on her cross-country bike trip from Sarasota, FL to St. Augustine, FL to San Diego, CA. The accident occured outside of Wauchula, FL. She was having problems towing her Bob Trailer behind her bicycle during headwinds. The Bob trailer fishtailed and made the bike crash. Nancy flew over the handlebar of the bicycle onto the pavement. If she wasn't wearing a helmet, she might not have survived the accident. Nancy had to be airlifted from Wauchula, FL to a major hospital in Tampa, FL. She had to have several CAT scans and a possible operation to relieve pressure on the brain. Also, possible facial cuts from broken glasses. The accident occured on her second day of her trip. More news will follow if I here anything.
