One of my best friends, William Castro(ap1willie), totaled his S2000 Friday night. He was celebrating his 24th birthday Friday night and got into an argument with someone. He left the party pretty angry and was doing over 100mph. He fell asleep at the wheel, went off the road and hit a small dip which caused him to get completely air born. The car flew over a 2 lane road and went through the roof of a garage, landed on the roof of the car parked inside, and pushed it into the back wall of the garage. The family inside the house said he got out of the car, took 2 steps and then fell over and passed out. The ambulance took him to South Seminole Hospital and was then transported via helicopter to ORMC. He severed the tendon in his left index finger, broke almost all of his ribs, punctured a lung, and fractured several vertebrae and disks in his spine. Today he is having surgery to repair the tendon in his finger. He will later need surgery to repair the damage done to his spine. He has feeling in his legs and feet and it looks like he should still be able to walk again. He is going to have a long hard road ahead of him with physical therapy and rehab. Luckily he isn't getting charged with a DUI and the owners of the house aren't pressing charges. He was very lucky for that. I thank God that he wasn't killed. I visited him in the hospital yesterday. He is talking and acts the same. There doesn't seem to be any brain damage. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. If anyone wants to visit him in the hospital let me know and I'll provide you with the information. I'll be visiting him regularly for a while so I'll give him a message from you guys if you aren't able to see him at ORMC. Let's all continue to pray for him and hope that God provides a safe and healthy recovery.

There but for the grace of God, go I.

Things like this is why I don't drink anymore. I hope he learns from this, and recovers well to enjoy the rest of his life. Fortunately he is young so let's hope that helps his body recover.
