We lost a guy today. Two of our cars were heading to Bagram to pick up a person and get some medicine. They got pinned in, and went to pass a herd of sheep. The first vehicle that had my roommate in it passed just fine, but there was an oncoming truck carrying bricks. The second car that was carrying an intel guy and a security guy (driver) went to pass, and didn't make it. They swerved to miss, but the truck and them hit head on.

The SUV went off the road and flipped twice, landing on it's roof, and 20 ft. away from a cliff. The passenger was able to get out on his own, but the driver was knocked unconcious. The first vehicle stopped, and they were trying to get the driver out, but he was pinned in.

Luckily some Local Nationals saw it happen and came to help. 15 Afghans helped our guys turn the vehicle over. Our other security guy was able to kick the door open and get the driver out. My roommate was frantically trying to call the unit because they were out in the middle of nowhere. She finally got through, they told her to come back to Kabul Compound. They got Wright (driver) out of the vehicle, and he started coming to. He had a laceration to his neck, blood was everywhere. His leg was messed up and hands were crushed. He has glass everywhere. The passenger, Bruce, was very lucky. He hit the windshield, so he just needed stitches and glass removed.

The group carried Wright to the first vehicle and drove to the compound. They woke me up along w/ another guy because we're combat lifesavers. Wright had a broken wrist and several broken fingers. He was bleeding heavily, and his leg was not bleeding but looked wrong. He was in extreme pain and yelling. I cut open his pantleg, and sure enough he broke his femur. No external bleeding but he was bruising fast, so he was internally bleeding. We splinted his leg and his hands, bandaged his neck and took him to the german hospital in town. They were able to control the bleeding there. Once he was stabilized he was driven up to Bagram, past the accident site. They put him on the torture machine there and realigned his leg. His leg was 6 inches shorter than the other.

He is currently stable in Bagram and will be medevac'd tomorrow am to germany for surgery. He won't be coming back as he will need therapy for his leg and hands.

We are thinking of you Wright, speedy recovery.

I am glad I wear my seatbelt. Photos of the wreck to come.....
