Hendrickson, 21, and her mother-in-law, Sandra Yake, 42, both of Brigham City, had just finished their shifts as janitors and were driving home from their assignment at ATK Launch Systems in a remote section of Box Elder County late Monday night when a fellow employee, 59-year-old Steven Farner, passed their vehicle on his Yamaha motorcycle.

Farner crashed into a deer and was thrown from his motorcycle.  Hendrickson and Yake sprung into action finding Farner not breathing and rending CPR and calling 911.  Farner was taken to McKay-Dee Hospital in critical condition.

I urge all motorcycle riders to take a CPR class so they can help their lollow riders in the event that a crash occurs.  Lets face it - bikers gather at biker rallies, rides, poker runs and just for rides on teh weekend - we should be prepared.  Here is an excelent link that will take you to a listing of all CPR classes in Utah - the cost is minimal and the rewards - priceless!

Kudos to the women for being prepared!
