Forfar Athletic officials are delighted to report that Manager Jim Weir and first-team coach Barry Sellars are now recovering well at home having been involved in a horrific head-on motorway collision not long after leaving Ochilview following last night’s training session.
Along with the driver of the other vehicle involved Jim who was at the wheel of his company car and Barry were rushed by ambulance from the scene to Forth Valley Hospital but were fit enough to be released during the night.
Both Jim and Barry have suffered fairly severe whiplash injuries as well as more than a few cuts and bruises but when one sees the photographic evidence they are both lucky to not have sustained more serious injury.
Knowing both, they will be keen to be in the dugout no doubt come Saturday afternoon, but they will also take the required medical advice we are sure before any firm decision is made.
Thankfully the driver of the other vehicle also escaped serious injury.
All ‘Loons’ supporters will we are sure to be wishing Jim and Barry all the best following this harrowing experience and also a speedy recovery to full fitness.
