Title: Crash at Bartow Post by: #26YFZ on February 17, 2007, 09:41:03 PM Alan (molonyltr19) had a pretty nasty crash at Bartow today. Missed a gear on the face of a double and came up way short and nosedived into the upside of the lander. He was slammed onto the lander and the bike flipped on top of him. He got twisted and crushed pretty bad. He's in ICU right now with a lacerated spleen and possible broken shoulder (awaiting x-ray confirmation). He may need surgery if they find out the spleen is bleeding into his abdomin. Just keep him in your prayers. Thanks.
Title: Re: Crash at Bartow Post by: jayman on February 17, 2007, 09:45:19 PM My families prayers are with him. Sounds to be a pretty nasty wreck :(
Wish him a speedy recovery. Title: Re: Crash at Bartow Post by: ebtrx450r on February 17, 2007, 09:48:10 PM He's def in my prayers!! Give me a call if you go to the hospital tomorrow I'll ride with you.

Title: Re: Crash at Bartow Post by: Ride1Rob on February 17, 2007, 09:55:14 PM Man! That's sad to hear Darren. Let him know that I'll be praying for him and hope he has a speedy recovery. I did that same thing at Lakeland. I was just lucky to have my rear tire clip the top of that nice double they used to have and it bucked my rearend up sending me over the bars. Keep us posted on how he's doing.

Title: Re: Crash at Bartow Post by: #26YFZ on February 17, 2007, 10:49:24 PM He is in Tampa General. Don't think he will need any as long as he stays how he is. They are still waiting to see if it's bleeding into his abdomen though. Thanks for all the prayers

Title: Re: Crash at Bartow Post by: #26YFZ on February 18, 2007, 12:50:02 PM Thanks everyone. The shoulder is not broken, however now they think he tore his rotator cuff and we are waiting on the orthopedic surgeon to let us know for sure.
Title: Re: Crash at Bartow Post by: qt314nfla on February 18, 2007, 01:41:15 PM I don't know the kid but I certainly wish him the lesser of the potential injuries and a speedy recovery. Be sure to take a laptop and show him the good pics taken at the race. I'll keep him in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers go to him! Title: Re: Crash at Bartow Post by: The hyrbid kid on February 19, 2007, 12:58:09 AM Man my prayers to him..
about two months ago i broke two ribs rupshured my spleen and punchured my lung.. it was a rough recovery but we all make it threw... As long as he can keep the spleen thats a major thing.. Tyler Title: Re: Crash at Bartow Post by: 1FasterBlaster on February 19, 2007, 09:54:51 AM That's terrible.I mentioned that kind of injury on the post where the guy in Ocala died.I thought it was his Spleen.Then you see something like this.
It's one of the main reasons why tracks freak me out.I like to jump, but I catch myself sometimes trying to get more air.I will definately be more cautious now. Best wishes for a fast recovery!! I hope he's able to keep riding.

My prayers for him and his friends and family are on the way. :Hug.gif
