Dracut Crash Victim Raymond Castonguay, Needs Your Help
It will be a long time before Raymond Castonguay recovers from the injuries he suffered when he was struck by a pickup truck while riding his motorcycle in Dracut earlier this year, but he does intend to recover, no matter how long it takes.
In the meantime, some of Castonguay’s fellow bikers are planning a flea market, motorcycle
run, and barbecue on Aug. 20 to support Castonguay’s wife and four children, who have lost their primary bread winner.
The family needs help, especially since Castonguay did not have health insurance when he was struck head-on by a pickup truck, crushed against a tree, and then run over again when the driver who struck him attempted to flee the scene, according to court records.
Castonguay, 34, of Nashua, was left with an amputated leg, a collapsed lung, a pelvis that’s broken in three places, and bruises and tears in seven internal organs that initially forced doctors to keep him on a respirator, his wife, Joyan Castonguay, has said.
The benefit for the truck driver and his family will start at 9 a.m., with a flea market at Pub Thirty-Something, 174 Frost Road, Tyngsboro. Anyone who wants to donate any items to the flea market can drop them off next to the trailer on the right hand side of Pub Thirty-Something.
At 10 a.m., a motorcycle run to Manchester, N.H., Salem, N.H., and back to Tyngsboro will begin. When the ride ends about 3:30 p.m., everyone will meet at Pub Thirty-Something for a Barbecue.
At that time, there will be raffles, games, an auction and RJ’s Motorsports, of Nashua, will have their Dino Machine for bikes.
Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at Pub Tshirty-Something, or on the day of the event.
