Brooklyn Heights construction worker Robert Keller appeared to be as dead when an out-of-control, drugged-up driver came heading straight for him at 60 mph while at his Far Rockaway work site last Friday. But his life was saved by Ossining's Michael Hudson, the flagman on his crew, who shoved Keller, took the blow of the speeding vehicle along with him and ended up losing a leg in the process. Hudson still has internal bleeding and has just been released from intensive care. Keller tells the Daily News his co-worker was his "guardian angel." Hudson's girlfriend said, "He looked awful, and I didn't know if he was going to make it. I didn't know if he would live to hear me say 'I love you' one last time." As for the woman who admitted to cops that she had smoked crack and was arguing with her passenger before plowing into the construction site near JFK, she is in jail with bail set at $250,000. Yolanda Silvera of Long Island has been charged with second-degree assault, second-degree vehicular assault, second degree reckless endangerment, DWI and other violations.

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

I'm always amazed when I hear people actually smoke crack. You must really not give a crap about your life if you mess with that stuff. Also, Chris Rock's crackhead character Pookie always comes to mind.
I always think of Tyrone Biggums. Is this the 5 o'clock free crack giveaway???
I don't understand either! Everyone knows what a crackhead is. What makes some people say "Hm, I wanna be like the dude offering $2 BJs on the corner. Let me get a hit of that crack pipe."?
"I got these cheeseburgers, mannnn..."
Enjoy Rikers! Hopefully jail will sober/smarten you up.
Imagine the mayhem if she were driving a bicycle .....
"I didn't know if he would live to hear me say 'I love you' one last time."
That is heartbreaking.
man, this really sucks. a blue collar guy just out there doing his thing and he gets tagged by a crack head. i certainly hope he has some decent insurance and that he will be able to transition into another job that will take into account his new disability. awful.
Add to the daily list of murder and mayhem courtesy of the personal automobile.
Here's another one from the weekend about 2 brothers killed by the driver of an automobile.

"NY driver charged with killing brothers"
I think we can safely blame this one on the crack smoking, not the car, eh?
From the Daily News article:
Hudson's girlfriend raced to his side after the accident, hoping to see him a final time.
Seems pretty unlikely that she was "hoping" that. Fearing, maybe.
the implication was that she thought he was going to die and wanted to make it to his side before that happened.
That's the implication, but it's still poor writing.
Crap writing and are they kidding with that picture! Why not photo shop a leg off too you idiots.
I happen to be the one with the leg amputated... thanks. I would rather be depicted with two legs then with one. It makes me feel better. Anyway, I survived and I am recovering, not an easy road.

You have to believe that any person willing to risk their life to save a friend or coworker like that will do well in life no matter what. It's my firm belief that good people always end up getting what they deserve in some how.
So I may not believe in god, but I have faith that other people will recognize the value in being a friend or a coworker / boss to this guy.
