Ken Etter injured in an accident at Fontana

[Mickey Whaley]

I can't see a steering column i wonder if they cut it out trying to get to ken, no matter this was a nasty crash glad to hear he is recovering

I agree with Mickey, the dash roll-up technique is used to free a persons feet or legs from enanglement in the pedals or steering column. It also appears the door might have been jammed and the Jaws were used to gain access, and the obvious roll bar cuts.

The reason I asked earlier is, I wonder if the dash rolled up that much in the crash or it was due to the rescue? I have seen many a bad crash, but that looks real nasty for a stocker. As I build mine I will be paying close attention to this.

Something is not right here. This car is folded up much worse than ones that hit a concrete racetrack wall, even head-on.

Regular pictures on the Fontana website show the walls consist of Jersey barriers. When the car hit, did a barrier move allowing the car to hit the end of the next barrier? Those Jersey barriers are suppose to have huge pins holding them together which keep them from seperating.

Could they have done a large amount of the nose damage to the car when pulling dash away from Ken with the rescue equipment? I've seen them winch against the nose of a wrecked car before to pull interior components away from victim...Anyone? WJ

I'm just glad you're still here to talk about it. Ryan said it looked real bad from where he was.
