Update: Hessler in Critcal Condition
filed in Players on Oct.21, 2003 by Katfish
Apparently its a little more serious than first thought. As of Monday Hessler was still in a coma at a local Denver hospital with a collapsed lung and serious head injuries. A 1986 Chevy Blazer rear ended Hessler’s car Sunday afternoon while driving on I-76. The collision then propelled Hessler’s car into on coming traffic. The driver of the Blazer escaped on foot and is still being searched for.
Our thoughts here at BUFFS.tv go out to John and his family.

As of Thursday morning John is still in critical condition at Denver Health Medical Center. Police are still looking for the driver that forced him off the road. There is a detailed article at http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36%257E87%257E1712316,00.html
I can assure BUFFS fans and his family that some of the best doctors in the nation are caring for him at Denver General.

He helped my brother’s football team 3 years ago and my prayers are with him, it’s weird how someone you know is hurt.

The people at the school where John coaches have developed a very nice website for him where you can get updates on his condition and leave him a message. I would encourage all Buffs fans to do so. It is http://www.johnhessler.com
