 Some sad news to report via the Daily News:
Brian Hickey, former managing editor of the City Paper and manager of labor leader John Dougherty’s state senate campaign last spring, was listed in critical condition last night after a hit-and-run accident in South Jersey.
Collingswood Police Chief Thomas Garrity said Hickey, 35, of East Falls, was walking about 10:15 p.m. Friday on North Atlantic Avenue at West Linden in Collingswood, near a PATCO stop, when he was struck by a motorist who left the scene.
Hickey was found unconscious on the roadway with a bloody cut on his head, Garrity said. Police officers saw skid marks on the roadway. Hickey was rushed to Cooper University Medical Center in Camden, where he is still hospitalized.
Geeze. The article later updates his condition to critical but stable, a good sign.
Get well soon, Brian. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to make fun of your blog posts again any day now.

When Hickey gets better he’s going to make fun of you for not using the manboobs tag on this post.
I just want to send my support to Mr. Hickey. PW and Brian were the only ones who listened to my story when other news outlets turned their heads. Because of the public support received from an article he wrote about an injustice that happened to me, my case is going to court. Thank you Mr. Hickey and get well soon.
