The Other Doug
 
Okay so here is the update... Willie is from Ashville and they mediflighted him to Ashville since they have a trauma center...

Willie hit the guard rail at probably a 45 degree angle... He went over the handlebars and then his head and body hit the guard rail.....

We got an update a few minutes ago that he has 7 broken ribs, several of those are broken in multiple places... He has 3 broken vertebrae in his neck and has a lot of bruising... We believe there is more injuries but those are the big ones...

The doctors are going to induce coma on Willie and keep him out until Tues when he will be having surgery... The doctors said that the damage pushed the vertebrae out and not in.....

Keep Willie in your prayers, they are telling us that he will be in the hospital for at least 2 weeks, he is still in the ER now and will be moving him to ICU later.......

More to come as we get it...
