Terrance took a tumble into the turn 8 airfence at summit. Rumor has it he walked to the ambulance. They ended up flying him out though. That's all the info I have at the moment. I'll post more when I can. Heal up amigo!
Heal up soon T, my thoughts and prayers are with you homie. We can't have WERA's biggest flirt walking around all busted up and stuff
He's responsive, but they are keeping him overnight for observation. I'll try to keep the big stuff up to date as I hear from Shauna. EDIT: and yes, he did walk into the ambulance on his own.
EDIT: and yes, he did walk into the ambulance on his own.[/QUOTE] well tell him to get his ARSE back out of there then
yea we went to watch today... hope he's fine. it struck me as odd that it seemed like it took an hour between the crash and the chopper leaving. didn't seem like much of a hurry on things, but then chopper is never good. heal up.
There is a change in the life-flight choppers protocols these days, many of them fly a trauma team of docs/nurses on the flight to stabilize and begin treatment on the ground vs the old 'snatch and grab' to get the patient to a hospital ASAP method. So they are are usually on the ground longer, and the chopper is more of an air ER vs just a rapid transport vehicle. Heal up quick!
He initially refused treatment. Then some things changed after going back to the pits and EMS felt it would be better to fly him to Fairfax hospital. The new medevac service based at Martinsburg airport responds very quickly when they do get called. They are at the track within 10 minutes of receiving a phone call it seems. They certainly get there before a fire truck does, if the truck even shows up at all.
Get well soon T. Call if you need anything! I kept your tool just so I would have an excuse to come to the shop :up:
