This guy isnt a close friend but I know who he is and have ridden next to him a few times, and I will be going to donate some blood for him tomorrow. This happened on a local set of twisties we all love to carve, and I have ridden them numerous times myself. If you have a spare dollar or even fifty cents this family could sure use it. He made 8.50 /hr toting lumber at the local lumber yard and is a good father, husband and friend. Lets all please be careful and keep clark and his family in your prayers.
Thanks

By the end of the week Clark Phillips may have to endure three surgeries as a result of his motorcycle accident on Fort Mountain Sunday afternoon. The 25-year-old Chatsworth man also needs donations of O-negative blood, his wife says.
“He’s in surgery (Wednesday) and is scheduled again (today),” said Tiana Phillips. “He came very close to losing his leg. He’s also going into skin graft surgery on Friday or Saturday, and he’s in desperate need of O-negative blood.”
A spokeswoman at Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga said Phillips was in “critical” condition Wednesday afternoon.
Phillips was riding his 2002 Yamaha when he lost control in a curve and struck a guard rail, then traveled 300 feet down the mountain, his wife said.
Phillips works at Johns Lumber in Dalton and has insurance, but may be out of work a year or 18 months due to the seriousness of his injuries. Since his wife does not work and they have five children between the ages of 11 months and 14 years, a fund has been set up to help the family at Dalton-Whitfield Bank. A spokeswoman said donations can also be made at other First Security Group (FSG) banks in the area, but they prefer any funds be dropped off or mailed to the main bank at 2918 E. Walnut Ave., Dalton, GA 30721.
