Gerry Reid
My close friend Gerry Reid was severely injured this morning in a terrible car accident on I-40 today. Gerry had stopped in traffic and got rear-ended by a tractor-trailer. He was flown to Duke Hospital where he was in surgery all day.
Gerry’s in critical condition. He has been severely injured, with serious neck and head injuries. The next 24-48 hours will be critical for him. He has swelling in his brain and is unresponsive. Doctors will perform more tests in the morning to see how he’s doing.
My friend is in a fight for his life. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.
I’m so sorry to hear that. 🙁 I’ll definitely say a prayer for him.
Out of curiosity, do you know if he was in or out of his vehicle when it was hit by the tractor trailer?
He was in his vehicle.
Probably a good thing since the chances of him surviving if he was outside the vehicle would probably be low. 🙁
