Gary Hilliard, Ultramarathoner & LA County Department of Public Works employee, was involved in a motorcycle accident Sunday, August 19th, and is now in intensive care at County-USC Hospital.
The accident happened on Angeles Crest Highway, near Red Box. He suffered internal injuries, had a kidney removed, and required 11 units of blood. The good news is that he knew who/where he was, could move his fingers and toes, and that his bleeding has stabilized for the time being. He is under heavy sedation, and the doctors are closely monitoring his vitals to track his kidney and liver function.
His condition is still critical, so please keep Gary and his wife Pam in your prayers during this time.
At this time, it's probably best if visits are limited to family and close friends. Please check back for updates.

Gary,
Voce já é um vencedor. Venceu o cancer e correu a Badwater. Estou
torcendo por voce e correremos juntos novamente a Badwater.
