Here's what I know, based upon E-Mail traffic. I need to visit myself, perhaps tomorrow...
Several people have gone to see him in the hospital (Steve, MikeMac, Lauren), and a few more will go today (Jan). Steve had first heard about the accident from Bob Olson, who, perhaps because he works for a television station (or maybe just because he was watching television), may have been in a good position to hear first. They were driving to their show Saturday night, about 7:10 p.m., and were hit head-on by a vehicle going the wrong direction. The other driver ran off.
John's condition is critical, but stable. He is in Special ICU 1 (SI1), Tower 2, UCD Med Center (phone number is 916-734-2848). The main desk is at 916-734-2011. He is unconscious. According to Mike Mac:
He's in a neck brace and a respirator, and just about every square inch of his body is covered by plaster, tubes or the sheets, except for his head above the mouth and parts of his arms and hands. He looks pretty roughed up.
