My daughter works with Les Davis and she just told me his Mustang hydroplaned in the heavy rain on Saturday. The car went of the road and hit a tree. His L4 or L5 vertebrae is 75% crushed, and he is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. The doctors say that he'll be up and around 2-3 days after surgery but she's not sure how long it will take him to recover totally. I believe she said that he was a WakeMed.

That's terrible! I hope he has a quick recovery and uneventful surgery.

man, that's terrible news. Thanks for the post up Mitch. I'll try to call and see if I can info on him today. I'm sure he's appreciate a visit. If I can hold of him, I'll ask if there's anything he needs....

So stupid question. Does anyone know his full name? It may not be listed as Les in the hospital.

I called Wake Med and he is indeed there at the New Bern Ave location. Surgury is scheduled for this afternoon. Les would prefer not to have visitors today. His room is 5B26. Les said he'd be happy to see folks tomorrow. I didn't ask him what he needed, seemed a little out of it, but he did seem to be in good spirits otherwise.

He also stated the car was totaled, but he did have full coverage. I think we'll have Les back out on course in very short order

Great news Rodney, thanks for following up with this.

Thanks for the update. I saw this last night and was kind of stunned. Didn't know what to say or post! I hope the surgery goes well and he is back home soon!

This definitely sucks; however, the marvels of modern engineering and medicine will make everything OK.

So sorry to hear. Hope all goes well, as I'm sure it will. Les is tough.

He'll be the 6 million dollar man in the 6 million dollar vette.

Oh man!!!!

Thanks for getting the information Rodney and I'm up for visiting him whenever he's ready to see folks.

NOOOO, that is terrible. :cry:

Thanks for getting the details, Rodney. I'm definitely pulling for Les to make a full, speedy recovery. When he's up for having visitors, I'll definitely try to stop by.

Rain really, really, really sucks when it comes to cars and racing.
