Update 11:15 AM - I also talked with Stuart; they connected me to him when I asked about him.

Talked with Stuart. Wants to get out of the hospital, seems to think he is fine. Had a CAT scan this morning as they were concerned about eye but he said everything OK. The first time he remembers talking is when the emergency personnel put him into the emergency "airvac" (I didn't know that), unless I misunderstood him and he meant the emergency Van? I told him I have a picture of him sitting in his car when he sat up but didn't think I should post it. I asked him if he had seen anyone at the end of the tunnel (white light thing) "Door #1 or Door #2......... He said all he heard was people arguing or something. ""I told him that was probably when they were getting the road cable from around his neck when he wasn't breathing""

Other thing he remembers was people were stopped in front of him and he swerved to avoid; next thing he remembers was being put in emergency van or helicopter? I told him there was a lot of time between when the guys got there to unbuckle him, pick up debris from the road, everyone clapping when they freed his head, giving him bandages to hold over bleeding face, hand etc, other cars getting hit, people scattering to their cars when cars starting slamming into each other. Oh, and they shut down the east bound lanes for few minutes as people were running over to his car. ... .... .....Of course there was a cloud of dust. It is Arizona.

I can be somewhat funny here as Stuart seems fine and wants to get out of the hospital.

I said, "You had stuff from the car scattered along 50-100 yards along the cable area. Jo said she has his water bottle and several people picked up car stuff and put it in his car.

He has his humor back. He asked if his car was really totaled? I said I think so!!!!.........
And Dan's, maybe Jeff's, who knows about the SUV or the Cop car.

Just glad to hear him talk and he seems OK.
