CARL DIXON: 'Right Hand Broken, Right Eye Badly Damaged Other Than That, I Feel Blessed'

May 3, 2008

Mark Bonokoski of TorontoSun.com recently spoke by phone to former CONEY HATCH member Carl Dixon who is is currently in an Australian hospital recovering from injuries sustained on April 14 in a head-on collision in Australia.

"The most amazing thing, beyond surviving what I cannot remember, is the outpouring of goodwill, love and affection since the accident," he added. "It's been truly uplifting."

"I have absolutely no recollection of the accident. It was obviously just one of those moments. I was trapped for a long time, apparently."
