| On July 23, 2007 Ronnie was hit at a high speed by an 18 wheeler which crammed him under another 18 wheeler that was sitting next to him. They were in stopped traffic on I-40 right outside of Brinkley. Three other cars were hit by the 18 wheeler. The police report said that the truck went 984 feet AFTER hitting the fourth car. Witnesses say that he didn't even try to stop.
He suffered from a broken left arm (both bones) and a broken right thumb. He had a bruised lung and 8 staples in his head along with other cuts and bruises. When they took him to Forest City Med Center they thought he had a brain bleed so they med flighted him to Memphis Med where they ran more tests and concluded that he did not have any serious head trauma.
He had surgery on Wednesday and was released on Friday.
Then to top it off, Lauren came home that Sunday, but that's on another page. |
