Is this one of our local brothers? Wish them a speedy recovery Ferrari Crashes & Burns In Dutchess County
The provided news report indicates both men suffered burns over 70% of their bodies. If such is the case, let us hope that the degree of burns are not as serious as can happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This happened about 8-10 miles from where I live and it was a pretty horrific crash. Hope for the best.
Info today looks like speed was the culprit and most likely charges to come . Driver and passenger still critical.
Yes, truly horrible. This accident actually happened on my road, just past the edge of our land, probably 300 meters from the end of our driveway. I drove passed the burned spot this AM, did not look good. I hope the driver and passenger make good recoveries. Does anyone know was the car involved a matte red 458 spyder? Is so, I've met the owner around town and he is a lovely human being. Steve, do you live in Millbrook? PM if you wish - it sounds like we are neighbors. Alex
For those who may have access; There is an article dated June 10 from a subscription-only site/newspaper called The Recorder. Elsewhere; Names are given of both Gentlemen, one from Manhattan, and the other from Argentina - in this summary from June 8. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2014/06/09/2-men-severely-burned-in-dutchess-county-crash/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Perhaps you're also familiar with a loved one suffering from grievous burn injury and succumbing. In 1956, my Father pulled his from an explosion, with 85% Burns, most Third Degree, after which three days passed before he succumbed. This is not the old days, when Percentage of Third Degree Burn + Age = Percentage of Nonsurvival. These Two Gentlemen were both able to escape the vehicle themselves. That gives me greater hope the Degree of Burns wasn't as high as could be, or as deep, and treatment can help them resume their lives. Burns: Burns: Merck Manual Home Edition Prognosis First- and some second-degree burns heal in days to weeks without scarring. Deep second-degree and small third-degree burns take weeks to heal and usually cause scarring. Most require skin grafting. Burns that involve more than 90% of the body surface, or more than 60% in an older person, are often fatal. Artificial Skin, and how far we've progressed HowStuffWorks "How Lab-grown Skin Works" This is where they were airlifted to, apparently by their STAT Flight Team; Westchester Medical Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Trauma and Burn Center Valhalla, New York (NY) - Westchester Medical Center So, as a fellow Member who has never met these Gentlemen, I can only ask that we consider the aforementioned not as a matter of debate, but as how Medical Professionals are helping them not just survive, but prosper. These Two Men are going to need our moral and emotional support when they need it most, because when faced with the greatest adversity, we help each other prosper. And that is Our Community's greatest strength.
