"...Richard LeCounte was struck by two cars while driving his motorcycle in an accident that occurred Saturday night in the hours after the Bulldogs had returned from their game in Kentucky. "
“He’s lucky to be alive,” said Erika Blocker-LeCounte, Richard’s mother. “He was wearing his helmet and (that) saved his life.”
LeCounte is in stable condition.
Ron Courson, UGA’s director of Sports Medicine, said in a statement Sunday that LeCounte would remain at Piedmont Athens Regional Hospital “for further medical care. His injuries are not life-threatening and a full recovery is expected.”
Glad to see he will be OK, he had some great luck considering the situation !
It’s unlikely, however, that he will be able to play football for a while. LeCounte suffered a shoulder injury, bruised ribs and several cuts and scrapes. However, he did not suffer any broken bones and has not required surgery.
LeCounte is arguably Georgia’s best defensive player. He had a career-high 13 tackles and a fumble recovery in No. 5 Georgia’s 14-3 win over Kentucky in Lexington Saturday afternoon. For the season, he’s third on the team with 26 tackles and leads the Bulldogs with three interceptions.
Good luck to LeCount with his injuries.
Rather beat you dawgs at full strength !
