Linn Bebout was in a near fatal car accident on Sunday night
Linn was in a near fatal car accident on Sunday night with his 8 year old son Cole. They were both transported by air to hospitals in Columbus, Ohio. Cole was taken to Childrens to check out his condition he was released early in the morning on Sunday. He has some cuts and scraps but over all is ok. It is almost like a bubble was placed around him to keep him safe.
Linn on the other had was injuried badly. He had to have his spleen removed, his liver had damage and his diaphragm was crushed. He was unable to breath. They got him stable enough to fly him to OSU and did surgery right away. He also has a broken pelvic bone, his spin has some chips but will self heal and an injury to his brain. We are unsure if any other bones are broken as they are not life threating. Neither his brain or pelvic or back require surgery at this time. His stomach is still open as they have to go back in and "clean him up" check everything out and slowly they will put his stomach back together. He is not awake but can be with some help from the nurses and team of doctors. He does follow commands when they do this. The part of his brain that is damaged is the part that moves your arms and legs and currently he does do that with some control. Which is promising. He is to have a second surgery today at 1pm. If you wish to send cards you can do so at Robert L Bebout OSU Medical Center 410 W. 10th Ave. Columbus, OH 43210 I will between my trips to the hospital try to update you as things change. Thanks Angie Webb (yes I'm Bill's wife) |

Re: Linn Bebout was in a near fatal car accident on Sunday night
WOW! I am at loss for words. I have missed seeing Linn at the races the last couple of years. He is a great racer and a super nice guy. He, Bob and Bill are always the racers I watch and try to imulate. Always helpful whenever I needed it.
We sincerely hope for the best for Linn and his family. Angie, please keep us posted. Thoughts prayers. Tony, Lori & Richard Hall |

Re: Linn Bebout was in a near fatal car accident on Sunday night
Linn is doing a bit better they tried to take him of the ventilator on Tuesday but that didn’t go well. He was trying to talk and stuff and he ask to be put back on it. They are going to close him up Monday and still aren’t sure if he needs any surgery on his hips or pelvic area. He responds to us when we talk to him. He smiles and shakes his head when we ask him questions. Today he closed his eyes while I was back there and I told him to open his eyes and stop teasing me like he usually does. He started to laugh/smile. He does struggle with sinus issues that could be an issue but we hope once they get his stomach closed things will be better. The neuro surgery department released him from their care this week also.
Thanks again to everyone for the gifts, cards and phone calls. You are the most supportive group of people. Last edited by Angie Webb; 11-17-2007 at 07:05 PM. |
