Salem Christian "99.5 The Spirit of Los Angeles" KKLA-FM, Los Angeles, 4-7pm host Frank Pastore remains in critical condition with injuries suffered when his motorcycle and a car collided on the 210 Freeway in Duarte, California. Pastore, 56, a former Cincinnati Reds pitcher, was thrown from the motorcycle and found unconscious on the freeway. Police say that a car suddenly drifted from the number 2 lane towards the center divider, hitting Pastore's motorcycle as he rode in the car pool lane. He was taken by helicopter to Los Angeles County USC Medical Center. Thursday (Nov. 22), his wife of 34 years, Gina, said he remained hospitalized in critical condition in intensive care, and was in a coma. "Right now, he's still in critical condition, and we're remaining hopeful for a good outcome. It's such a fresh injury that we're still not sure. It's a roller coaster," Gina Pastore said.
