Del Worsham was released from Pomona Valley Hospital shortly after 7:00 pm
on Friday. Though his car was a total wreck after his spectacular and
horrifying wreck on Friday, his body came out of the experience in slightly
better shape. Worsham suffered a few small lacerations to both shins,
caused by the violence of the end-over-end wreck at high speed, but had
those either stitched up or bandaged with no ill effects. Slightly more
serious were x-rays which revealed a cracked tail bone. Doctors at Pomona
Valley informed Worsham he would be able to race with no danger of further
injury.
"They basically told me it was up to me, and how I can manage the
pain," Worsham said. "It's an injury they really can't treat, you just
need to let it heal and you know it's going to hurt for a while. The
ER doctor who cared for me was really fantastic, and everyone from the
ambulance guys to the people in the emergency room took great care of
me
and my wife Connie, who was with me. The doctor was explaining what they
saw on the x-rays, and he was also pretty interested in what we do and how
it all happened. I had the worst view of it of everyone, of course, and I
still haven't seen the video, but I think we gave him a pretty good idea of
everything that happened. He actually wants to come out to the race on
Sunday, so that would be cool.
