Ozzy Osbourne Seriously Hurt in ATV Accident

Our best wishes go out to Ozzy Osbourne who was seriously injured in an ATV accident today:

Ozzy Osbourne suffered serious injuries in an all-terrain vehicle accident on Monday (12/8), and was undergoing emergency surgery at an undisclosed hospital in England, according to a statement issued by his publicist.

Osbourne is said to have broken his collarbone, six ribs and a vertebra in his neck. Doctors were working to lift his collarbone, which was thought to be impacting a major artery and limiting the flow of blood to his arm. Surgeons were also trying to stop some "bleeding into his lungs," according to the statement. The injuries were not considered to be life-threatening, his publicist added.

Osbourne was riding the ATV on his property in Buckinghamshire, England, when the accident occurred. He had been in the U.K. to promote the British release of "Changes," a duet with his daughter Kelly. No further information was immediately available.

    ATV manufacturers are killing, injuring thousands (none / 0) (#1)

    For a rock wildman such as Ozzy Osbourne to ride an ATV is one thing, but most of us should know better by now. Due to manufacturing design flaws, ATVs are killing and injuring thousands of Americans yearly, yet they continue to sell for $10,000 or more -- strictly as off-road "recreational" vehicles. Such recreation is a steep price to pay for serious injury or even death in an ATV accident.
