Rob Chandler's life changed on Oct. 14, 2008.
The truck driver was riding his motorcycle over back roads to his Kennett
home, happy about the beautiful day, happy to be out of work early, happy
about spending some extra time with his wife and two daughters.
When out of nowhere, tragedy struck.
A motorist "overlooked a stop sign and then she overlooked me," Chandler
recalls about that fateful day that ended his career as a tractor trailer
driver for A. Duie Pyle, but, at the same time, opened up the doors to a
new one.
The 34-year old Chandler is now the owner of Buds to Blooms, an indoor
gardening business focused on natural and organic products for the
hydroponic gardener.
The retail business is located on Route 1 tucked away behind Philips
Place. The shop opened in June using the settlement money Chandler
received after the accident and financial support from his family.
It has been a long road since Chandler was catapulted off his cycle and
head first into the windshield of the car that hit him.
Chandler said he was flown by helicopter from the scene to the trauma
center at Chester Crozer Hospital. The bones in his right forearm were
pulverized.
Miraculously, he did not have a head injury.
Chandler said he had lent his motorcycle helmet to a co-worker that day
figuring he would be taking back roads home and assuming it would be a
safe ride. It was a decision that he still acknowledges was "stupid."
