Pamela is now home. Actually I am at her home, along with the family. She is resting peacefully, and stills looks so beautiful even though her right arm and her left leg are elevated so as to be above her heart (to help keep the swelling down).. David rearranged a portion of their bedroom which includes the hospital bed, etc. But it includes a lot of TLC. For all of you that knows Pamela, she ticks a lot better with a lot of TLC.

Dear Friends;
First of all I wish to thank each and every one of you for all the encouraging emails and flowers, on behalf of Pamela. If she could she would thank each and every one of you. She has expressed that to me several times.
Instead of answering each email, I thought I would update you by posting this short note.
As I know it. Pamela was riding with David on the back of his Harley Motorcycle (which she gave him for Xmas) and a gust of wind hit them. It was windy that after noon, I was on Laurel Canyon driving to Mission College and felt the wind at that time. Pamela was thrown to the ground and knocked unconscious (she suffered a concussion). David was thrown and hit a lamp post. Pamela out cold. Both were taken by ambulance to UCLA Emergency Hospital in Westwood. Pamela was still unconscious and remained so for quite some time.
Pamela remained critical... her bone in her right wrist was sticking out, her wrist was smashed, her left ankle was turned in and smashed... and she was still unconscious.... her personal doctor was called and he rushed to the hospital.
The doctors were busy trying to determine the extent of all Pamela's injuries. Because of the injury to her left ankle they were not able to set the bones. Instead they put a rod through her leg and another one through her ankle to hold the leg and ankle straight, until the swelling goes down. Pamela underwent a 4 hour operation. She had two specialist, one for her hand and the other for her left leg and ankle. Her pain was horrific.
I must say at this point in time, your outpour of kind well wishes were flowing in world wide. Pamela was given each and every email sent, as well as a copy sent to her email for later to read.
As it stand now, Pamela remains in the hospital and David is at home with the girls. I am praying for a speedy recovery.
I will keep you all posted as to Pamela's progress.
Thank you all again...

Feb 21, 2003 David Hasselhoff and his wife injured in motorcycle accident in Los Angeles

AP Breaking News - Friday, February 21, 2003

David Hasselhoff and his wife suffered broken bones when the actor lost control of the motorcycle they were riding and hit a sidewalk curb, police said. Strong gusty winds were blamed for the crash Thursday afternoon on a busy street on the city's West Side, police said. The crash threw Hasselhoff against a light pole, while his wife, actress Pamela Bach, fell onto the shoulder of the road. Police said both were wearing helmets. They were taken to UCLA Medical Center, where Hasselhoff, 50, was treated for possible lower back fractures, a broken rib and cuts and bruises, according to police. Bach, 39, was treated for a fractured ankle and broken wrist.

"They're in stable condition," said Warren Cowan, a publicist for Hasselhoff. Cowan said Hasselhoff has canceled trips and interviews to promote the upcoming Fox movie "Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding." The actor, best known for portraying lifeguard Mitch Buchannon on the "Baywatch" TV series and various "Baywatch" movies and TV specials, also starred in the 1980s TV show "Knight Rider." Bach was also a regular on "Baywatch" for several seasons. She and Hasselhoff have two daughters.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Former "Baywatch" star David Hasselhoff and his wife Pamela were injured in a motorcycle accident blamed on a strong gust of wind, police said Friday.

The two were riding along Sepulveda Boulevard on Hasselhoff's 2003 Harley Davidson near a freeway overpass Thursday afternoon when the wind gust caused him to lose control of the bike. As he was trying to regain control, the motorcyle ran into a curb, throwing the couple from the bike, with Hasselhoff flying into a light pole and his wife landing on the soft
shoulder of the road. The actor fractured his lower back and broke several ribs. His wife sustained a fractured left ankle and right wrist. The two are being cared for at UCLA Medical Center, where they are listed in stable condition.
