Charlie Klestadt Injured

Late this morning, Sunday June 2nd. Charlie and a Mexican man were hit by a drunk driver, while driver was on his cell phone and swerving back and forth while trying to cross the street. The driver fled the scene, but the police caught him and he is now in jail!

Both Charlie and the Mexican man were taken to Cruz Roja (Dr. Sam on duty). The Mexican man is less seriously injured. Charlie has a broken pelvis in 2 places, a deep gash and severe head concussion and other minor scrapes. Dr. Sam was unable to see any internal bleeding in the head impact area, but an MRI in Guadalajara will tell what is occurring in greater detail. When I was there he was semi conscious and they were preparing the paper work and stabilizing him for immediate transport to a private hospital in Guadalajara where a trauma team is waiting as well as his regular doctor.

Ann is with him and will follow in her car. Personally don't believe the gravity of the situation has hit her yet. I mentioned to both of them that many at lakeside will be praying for them.


Above is all I know until I hear from Ann later this pm. We may need blood donors and I will let you know.
