The 33-year-old son of District Judge Stephen Ables and wife, Lynda, was involved in a head-on motorcycle collision Saturday in Malibu Hills in Los Angeles County.

Earlier this week, plastic surgeons at University of California at Los Angeles performed surgery to repair a fractured cheekbone and damage to David Ables' eye socket.

David Ables grew up in Kerrville, but has worked in Los Angeles as a partner of Pressure Profile Systems, a medical engineering firm, since graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
