Former WKA Competitor Injured In Sprint Car Race
09.09.2008 -- Everyone at WKA wishes former member, John Westbrook, a speedy recovery as he was critically injured Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, PA.
His Sprint car flipped and was launched over the first and second turn, landing on the access road. He had been knocked unconscious and was transported to Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, PA. Westbrook used to compete in the Champ Division in the World Karting Association.
Westbrook underwent 12 hours of surgery on Saturday and it is reported that he has a broken back and neck. John has regained consciousness, has limited upper body movement and no feeling from the waist down. Everyone remains optimistic at this time. If you wish to send cards or well wishes, please send them to his home, as he remains in intensive care at this time. His address is: 15 W. Greenhouse Road, Dillsburg, PA 17019. Westbrook is in everyone's thoughts and prayers and we all wish him well.
