I spoke to Joe yesterday. He is a little sore and banged up, but otherwise OK. His main concern is for John. I have a few more details of how John was involved in the accident. John was following Joe in his pickup truck. They were going to John’s house to put a transmission in Joe’s Camaro. The U-haul had gotten between them as they were traveling in the far right lane. When Joe was cut of by the cement truck and locked up his brakes and was rear ended by the U- Haul, John slowed and went into the next lane left. When John did this he was rear ended by a semi that was traveling at a high rate of speed. The impact broke John’s back and he was pushed down the highway away from where Joe and the U-haul were and came to rest along the guardrail. About 15 min. after the accident and the fire dept. had put out the fires of the Camaro and U-Haul Joe realized John was not around. He knew John would not leave him and started shouting to the rescue personnel to find John. It took him a couple of minutes to convince them he was not just in shock, and a state trooper found John in his truck a few hundred yards ahead of the crash scene. John had been lapsing in and out of consciousness. At that point the paramedics secured John and medivaced him from the scene.
John is a car guy, one of us and lives alone, his wife passing several years ago. He is going to need all the help he can get. The members of the Maryland Camaro Club have set up a special fund to help benefit John in recovering from this terrible accident. We are going to take donations at our annual show this Sat. at Lincoln Tech in Columbia MD.
If anyone would care to donate, checks can be sent directly to our Treasurer, made out to The Maryland Camaro Club c/o

Eldersburg, MD. 21784
Just note that they are for the John Banskiver benefit fund.

Billy thanks for the update. If any of you will be in Maryland this weekend, this will be a good show and for a very special cause. I will be there with a donation and urge anyone that can do, please do.
