He was returning to a party with some friends on his motorbike after eating out when he separated from his group to take a different route. His friends didn't realize till 15 minutes after returning to their party that he hadn't arrived. His brother, Micah, called his cellphone and it was answered by a medic in an ambulance. The medic explained that Matthew had been in an accident and told Micah it was pretty serious. Micah called his parents and rushed to the hospital. About a dozen of Matthew's friends went to the hospital as well and were praying for Matthew when the doctor reported that Matthew had died. He had a lot of damage to his head, his liver was severed along with a main artery, and a lung had collapsed.<br /><br />Please cover the parents and older brother in prayer. More details and a possible word from the parents is forthcoming as plans for the funeral and for family members to fly over are taking place right now.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28872256-114881186696228078?l=matthewrideout.blogspot.com'/></div>Matthew Rideouthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15551689760174887094noreply@blogger.com14
