Beware! Wild raccoons on the loose

This is really my father's story to tell, so you'll have to ask him about the details.

My father goes biking about twice a day. On Thursday he hit a raccoon. On his bicycle. Yes, a raccoon darted out in front of him and knocked him off his bike. Dad wound up with 4 broken ribs, a slightly dislocated shoulder and a punctured lung. He couldn't get a hold of my mom so he biked home! He is doing well now. Possibly back at work this week.
