GeordieSteve Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 I've just been to see Karl the passenger (and member of this forum) in intensive care. It doesn't look good. He has severe brain damage and it's touch and go if he will make it His pelvis is also broken in two places but they're not worried about that at the moment, they're more concerned about the pressure on his brain. He's just a kid at 19 He was choking to death on his seat belt but a local 17 year old seen the accident, cut away the belt and held his hand until the ambulance arrived. That my friends... is a hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Shit thats bad. Ive worked on intensive care before and now work with head injuries and brain damaged people on a rehab ward, so ive seen a lot of this. Such a shame for the young lad and his family. Hope he pulls through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 that is so sad to hear, but there is hope, a friend of mine hit a wall at 60mph and was knocked unconcious and fell into a coma. at the scene he had to have that cut into the throat and straw put in. 5months later he came out of the coma after 2yrs of therapy he now works...talks..walks and lives a normal life! his speech is slower then normal (like mildy drunk). This just shows miracles can happen. Hope everything turns out well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 I'm not a religious man but I will be praying for the lad tonight. The damage and swelling is to various parts of the brain so they can't opprerate. The temperature inside his head should sit at around 15, when he was taken in it was 140 but it lowered to 18. Sadly last night he had a bad turn and it went up to 40 again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 What happened? I presume Karl is this this guy right? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=34609 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Good luck Karl, thoughts are with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 All I got from his old man about it is that they lost control (back end stepped out). His old man doesn't think he was giving it too much right foot coz the kid visited him yesterday. Yes Jake, that's Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
