A Patriot Guard ride was injured in single motorcycle accident Friday afternoon in Walnut Hill.
The accident happened just before 3 p.m. on Highway 97 just south of North Highway 99. Robert Baker, age 67 of Perdido, Ala., reportedly suffered a mechanical problem with his motorcycle and was ejected as the bike overturned. Baker came to rest just off the northbound lane of Highway 97 while the motorcycle came to rest in the southbound lane.

Gabrielle, thank you for the update. Your dad will stay in our prayers during his recovery, as will all of your family.
I’m a daughter of the injured Patriot Rider. First I want to thank God for keeping hos mighty hand on my dad. Second I want to thank each of you for your prayers they are so needed. God has already performed one amazing miracle for our dad! When he left Bay Minnette Hospital tests showed bleeding on the brain. As you can imagine we were terrified. Later tests at USA Trauma showed no signs of this!!! To God be the glory!!! Dad is not out of the woods yet. He has a broken arm, his other one is fractured. He has a split fracture in the back of his head. He has a cracked vertebrae in his neck (he has a neck brace on). His ribs are splintered and he has bruising on his lungs. He cannot see out of his right eye yet due to impact and swelling. He has a gash across his nose and lots of road rash. More tests are being done. Keep praying. God’s hand is on him. Thank you and God bless you and yours.
I pray that your Dad makes it through. I have come through a near death experience myself. Lots of people prayed for me when all hope was gone, they wantented to turn me off life support. I made it through with full recovery. I know God can do it for your Dad as He did for me. Stay strong and pray without ceasing.
My prayers are with him.
Thoughts and prayers for this man and his family. I check this story every day to see if there is any change in his condition.
Thoughts and Prayers go out to this hero and his family and fellow PGR. We appreciate all you do and hope you are back protecting the service members family soon!!
