Richard Browne, a Paralympic medalist, IPC World champion and world-record holder sprinter, suffered broken ribs and a heavy concussion when his car was hit by a truck in Florida earlier this week, according to his manager.
Browne was released from a hospital after a two-night stay and was recovering at home, according to the Thursday statement.
“Richard is badly shaken up and in a lot of pain at the moment, but he was very lucky,” manager Ian Byers said in a statement. “Doctors have advised that he should rest for 3 weeks, which will impact on his winter training and may mean that we have to review his early season race plans.
