sad news, our son paul eighteen has been very badly injured in a car crash, he was in the back of a corsa that crashed into a river on monday morning, he has broken his back in two places and it is very remote chance that he will ever walk again, paul is like me scooby mad and was wishing away the time until like me he could own his own scoob, he loves the scooby family and loved the recent blackpool big one, i know that all the members on here will wish him well he has the internet in hospital and is on the site daily

thanks mick and gill jefferson

 

Sorry to hear that Mick, hope your lad makes a full recovery.

What are the circumstances of the crash? Who was driving? Was anyone else involved and hurt? Is your lad going to claim against the driver?
On reading the above, the assumption is that it's a bunch of teenagers going too fast/too drunk, but this is not always the case. Hope everyone is ok though.

 

DITTO m8 sorry to hear that! but don`t give up hope my biker friend broke his back in a collision and he managed to recover from it? and is able to walk now with aid of stick but still loves bikes (nutter!) so there a god afterall or is it just the determination and support of loved ones and the human will to overcome? all my best charlie.

 

Mick & Gill. Sad news indeed.

Myself & the club send our thoughts, love and best wishes to you all. Especially to Paul at this devastating time.

You can count on us to support and help in whatever small way we can and would appreciate constant updates on how he's getting on.

We hope that he pulls through completely and, against current asessments, makes a full recovery and we see him again at the meets as soon as possible.

Al.

 

I really sorry to hear of your sons injurys. Hopefully he will make a full recovery as quickly as possible.
Good luck,
Ade.

 

Sorry to hear about your son.

Accidents like this are terrible and just serves as a reminder of how fragile the human body really is. Hopefully though this will be another case of showing how amazing the human body is by him making a full recovery.

Please pass on my regards and best wishes!

This did cross my mind.

But I thought it best to let Mick, Gill & Paul get to grips with the accident its consequences & Pauls immediate future, then we can get in touch again when we know what help and support is required.

 

Here, here

 

A mid monther for December perhaps?

Mick and Gill have often gone to great lengths to get down to our meets, it's about time we went North

 

I can only again echo what has been said already im sure your son's dream of scooby ownership will be forfilled. all the best to all of you my thoughts are with with you


Mid- monther. get the ball rolling

 

Mid- monther. get the ball rolling

Sounds good to me

 

hi WYIOC
sorry to say paul has now been told he will never walk again, paul has taken the news very well better than me and Gill, he has now got a battle that i know none of us would ever want. the offer of the mid monther is a great one just put it on hold until he is more mobile and you can join the TTS lads and lasses in a drive past and then a meet and the nearby pub, paul will be allowed over there further on in his recovery and i know he will get a great boost from the cars he so dearly loves, thanks for the messages of support he has the internet from his hospital bed and it has really lifted his spirits reading all the posts

thanks again paul mick and Gil

 

Sorry to hear the above news, keep us posted as to when you want us to come up for drive past.

 

Mick, Gill. I'm devasted for you all and my (our) thoughts are with you both & Paul.

Paul - You're a plucky young lad mate.. I excpect to see you proving them wrong before long..

We'd love to get some people together to come up for the a drive past.. if Decembers too early, then let us know when in the new year.

I've got a card I'd like to send on once the club has signed it.. can you PM me the Hospital or Home address so that I can end it on please..

All the best ..

 

Really sorry to hear the news, it's difficult to know what to say but rest assured advances in medicine never stop. Lets hope that the future holds some good news for you all. Wishing you well, Bob & Margaret.

 

Sorry to hear the update news Paul, wished it was more positive for you fella.. but who knows what the future holds mate.

looking forward to a huge meet with the TTS lads and lasses in the hopfully near future for a rolling thunder drive by..

Be strong and most importantly be Positive in what you do during your recovery and equally important be postive in your mind mate.

 

What the other have said really, sums up the feelings, but you need to keep strong and positive..
