US Paralympic T44
athlete and double World Champion, Richard Browne Jr. has sustained broken ribs
and a heavy concussion following a road traffic accident whilst in Florida.
Browne (24) was travelling in a car which was hit by a lorry that had failed to
stop at a red light. After two nights in hospital, Richard was released and he
is now recuperating at home in Florida.
Richard's manager, Ian
Byers of 17 Management, said "Richard is badly shaken up and in a lot of
pain at the moment, but he was very lucky. Doctors have advised that he should
rest for 3 weeks, which will impact on his winter training and may mean that we
have to review his early season race plans. However, Richard has overcome far
greater adversity in his life and I am confident that he will be in top shape
and ready to challenge for a place on the US Olympic team over 200m and to
contend for two individual gold medals at the Rio Paralympic Games”.
