Topic: Roger Dean involved in near-fatal car crash Return to archive
January 4th, 2005 07:40 PM
Tom Jennings Roger Dean, former guitarist with, amongst others, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and the Joe Loss Orchestra, was involved in a near-fatal collision with another vehicle in Sunningdale, Berkshire on Thursday 30th December 2004. He had been to visit his aged mother and was accompanied in the car by his brother.

Details are sketchy at present but it is reported that the Audi driven by Roger emerged on to the main road by the railway crossing and a speeding car, possibly a BMW, came round a bend, crossed the railway lines and crashed into the side of Roger's Audi.

The car was spun around by the force of the impact. Roger was trapped in the wreckage by his foot and had to be cut out of the vehicle by the emergency services.

Roger has suffered broken teeth, a broken arm, 4 broken ribs, spinal damage and possible pelvic damage. He is in deep shock and is currently in St Peter's Hospital, Chertsey.

His wife, Pam, and his sons, Marcus and Matthew are trying to be very brave in the circumstances but obviously this traumatic event has left the family distraught at the thought of what might have been.

We ask all friends and fans of Roger to think of him and his family at this time of the New Year 2005 and just to let everyone know that at some time in the near future 1 or more benefit concerts will be organised to raise funds towards helping Roger and his family to get through this most difficult time.

Musicians who would like to take part in this or these events please let me know.

Regards
