Crash at Bartow

#26YFZ · 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.

My families prayers are with him. Sounds to be a pretty nasty wreck

Wish him a speedy recovery.

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.

Sorry to hear that. We'll be praying!!

#26YFZ · 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

Tell him the TBR gang is thinking of him and wishing a speedy recovery.

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.

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.

Mrs.Nightbreed · February 18, 2007, 02:30:23 PM

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.

OOOOOhhh, I just hate it when something like this happens, especially to a kid.

God please pull him through and heal him up speedily. My prayers for him and his friends and family are on the way. :Hug.gif

He was cleared on the shoulder and spleen. I'm actually going to get him from the hospital now. Seems like everything is fine but he won't be riding for a little awhile
