A couple of the guys that went to the location of the wreck came back with a thumbs up so I thought everything was OK. Broken legs....ugh so painful but glad he's alive

Looks like oil may have hit the back tires at speed?

He is in CT scan now. In good spirits but in a lot of pain. Scott (my hubby and KP tech) and Amber are with him.
He was clocked at 190mph upside down.
