Accident

Brian Dux was seriously injured in a car accident during the early hours of Saturday 10 November 2007. No other vehicle was involved. Brian was taken to a Surrey hospital where he remained in intensive care.

On the Saturday night, Dux was driving home at 4:40 a.m. when he lost control of his car and crashed into a tree on Bagshot Road in the town of Chobham in Surrey, England. The arrival of an ambulance was delayed by a communications failure between local police and healthcare services. Surrey Police have launched a review into the delay.

As of 24 November, Guildford Heat are reporting that the injuries sustained by Dux in the accident "appear to be potentially far worse than previously thought. Discussions between Dux family members and Frimley Park Hospital consultants have now taken into consideration the possibility that Brian Dux may have suffered permanent disability from his single car automobile accident."

He might be blind. He might never wake up.

Two calls were made to ambulance services, spaced an hour apart, but it was over two hours before an ambulance arrived. The first responders, local firefighters, have been sharply critical of the delay in receiving the call out.

On 2 December, Brian Dux returned to the United States, after a medical jet with Prior Aviation transported him to Buffalo Niagara International Airport. Several benefit events were performed in his honour and in his support. Dux is now at Home, while going to Erie County Medical Center for rehab, less than two miles from where he became a college basketball star at Canisius.
