Begin forwarded message: On Sunday, Mary Ellen Allen crashed in the W3/4 Scratch Race at Hellyer. She crashed very hard in turn three. She was rushed to Regional Medical Center in San Jose. She has severe head trauma and was placed in ICU. Besides the head injury, she had a broken collar bone and miscellaneous road rash and contusions. She is doing very well and is scheduled to move out of ICU tonight. She made very good progress from when I left her at midnight in ICU to 8:30AM this morning. Everything appears to be progressing satisfactorily for this type of head injury.
