'Miracle he's alive': Crows receive update on Modra
The former AFL star is recovering after surgery on his jaw, cheekbone and eye socket, and doctors say he has no brain injury.
- On Saturday, Adelaide Crows legend Tony Modra woke from a coma following a life-threatening truck accident last Thursday near Victor Harbour, where a falling tree branch smashed his windshield.
- Modra was driving near his sheep and cattle farm 90km south of Adelaide when the accident occurred, prompting his airlift to Flinders Medical Centre for facial surgery.
- Former Crows teammate Mark Ricciuto confirmed on Monday that Modra avoided serious brain injury and has been released from intensive care, though he requires more surgery.
- During the Adelaide Oval clash with Melbourne on Saturday, fans paid tribute to the former superstar with applause, leaving Modra's family 'overcome with emotion and gratitude.'
- Modra's family said he has made 'encouraging progress' over four days of surgery but remains in a 'very challenging period' as they navigate recovery with overwhelming AFL community support.
