Sequatchie Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 (edited) UPDATE: Jerry Nadeau remained in critical and stable condition at Medical College of Virginia Hospital Saturday, 18 hours after a hard crash in final practice at Richmond International Raceway left him with multiple injuries. Sources say, however, that Nadeau is responding to stimuli, even in the coma medically induced to prevent swelling of the brain. "That's the most encouraging thing we've heard," said a Pontiac official who had spoken with #36 team officials. NASCAR vp/communications Jim Hunter read a statement from U.S. Army Racing, which said "Nadeau remains in critical condition. Nadeau continues to be treated for head, lung and rib injuries." Asked about the "stable" designation, Hunter said he did not know that. Nadeau's car was impounded by NASCAR and reportedly was being held for examination in a maintenance building outside the track!

Time2Play Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 I know he is not out of the woods, but Jerry Nadeau has been improving greatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landergolfer Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Jerry is semi-consicous and doctors are encouraged by his progress. It will be a slow recovery process. Jerry's hit was 60 g's and the hardest since they started using black boxes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
