He is still in a lot of pain after facial and ankle surgery. Did not speak to him about the accident yet.

No need to speculate, we will get the story later

Hi Condor,

Jammer om te hoor van Paul, hoop hy herstel vinnig. Ek sien niemand wat " speculate" nie, bladerunner is net soos almal net geintereseerd wat die oorsaak was sodat dit nie weer kan gebeur of sodat almal kan leer uit die onlgeluk..

Sterkte vir julle.
