NASCAR driver Greg Biffle crashed his car several days ago. Although he was not seriously injured, I'd be interested in your reaction to the article I linked to above. Key excerpts are below:
NASCAR driver Greg Biffle crashed his car several days ago. Although he was not seriously injured, I'd be interested in your reaction to the article I linked to above. Key excerpts are below:
But [Biffle] acknowledged Wednesday that the emergency response team that responded to him in Las Vegas was slow and unprepared to treat his injuries. Instead of taking him to the hospital or infield care center, Biffle said he was given a ride back to the team truck.
Las Vegas Motor Speedway officials vehemently disputed Biffle's account, saying "his recollection of the event is in gross error."
I"n fact, Mr. Biffle signed a form saying that he refused being transported and he himself wrote, `I feel fine' on a release document," Powell said. "Mr. Biffle's statement was written as a response to a demand on the document that requested a reason for his refusing to be transported."
Asked Wednesday if Biffle was competent enough to decline medical attention after being knocked out, a track spokesman said officials had no authority to force him to go to the hospital.
