John Force Racing driver severely injured in accident at NHRA Fall Nationals

Atlanta, GA 9/25/2007 12:02:35 AM

John Force Racing suffered a bad car accident that left drag star and 14-time champion John Force with severe injuries. Force and Kenny Bernstein were involved in a bad accident at the O’Reilly NHRA Fall Nationals at the Texas Motorplex. The crash happened just across the finish line when Bernstein’s car clipped the timing cone.

Bernstein walked away from the crash with no injuries, but Force wasn’t as lucky. The 58-year-old was airlifted to the Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas and suffers a broken left ankle and left wrist, severe abrasions to the right knee, and minor fractures and severe abrasions to his finger tips.

 

“John’s chassis broke in half and the engine and front two wheels were over in Kenny’s lane, and that’s what Kenny hit,” said the team spokesman Elon Werner.

 

“He was alert and obviously in a lot of pain, but the whole time he was asking questions. His primary concern was for Kenny Bernstein,” Werner added. He also said Force will most likely fully recover from all injuries.

 

Force’s daughter Ashley Force and son-in-law Robert Hight, both Funny Car drivers, as well as his wife Laurie, were with him at the hospital.
