Some good news to report.

Word that Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputy Burton Brink, N6USO is out of the hospital and recovering at home from injuries suffered in an on-duty accident.

As previously reported, the incident took place on June 13th . This, when a driver tried to exit the carpool lane on the Interstate 10 freeway.

The motorist, who was in violation of a state law requiring there be more than one person in the car, did not check for a clear lane. He collided with Brink who was on motorcycle patrol.

N6USO suffered 9 broken ribs, a broken shoulder blade, a punctured lung and a punctured spleen. He required almost a month of hospital care and it will likely be another half year before he can return to duty.

Burton asks that nobody call him right now as he is still in a lot of pain. Get well wishes are best sent by e-mail to
