Terrible accident happened today in Polish KLŻ. Patryk Budniak is in serious but stable condition.


Recommended Posts

The entire speedway community is following the latest news regarding Patryk Budniak's health. As we've learned, the Gniezno rider has already undergone another surgery. This time, it involved his lower limbs. Importantly, the surgery went according to plan, and the patient's condition is slowly stabilising.

Today (Wednesday) mark three days since the horrific accident in Gniezno. The young rider was airlifted to a hospital in Poznań. There, he underwent complex spinal surgery the very first night.

The first, somewhat more optimistic news began to emerge on Tuesday. A series of further tests revealed no further injuries beyond those previously diagnosed, which involved the spine, pelvis, and legs.

"The patient's lower limb surgery has been completed. It lasted three hours. Doctors say it went according to plan, with no complications. This is good news. The patient's condition is slowly stabilising, but he is still in the intensive care unit and placed in a medically induced coma. 

The timing of his awakening will be determined by doctors, who are constantly monitoring his condition," Zuzanna Pankros, spokesperson for the Poznań hospital, told po-bandzie.com.pl

It’s at £80k now. Although this is amazing I do feel slightly gutted that nothing has been done to help Szlegiel. Who also was involved in the horrific accident!

After a gruesome accident in Gniezno, Patryk Budniak underwent two very serious surgeries. The first involved his spine, and the second involved his lower limbs. On Thursday, the process of recovering from a medically induced coma began.

On Friday morning, we received excellent news from the hospital. As we've determined, the recovery process is complete. The speedway rider responds with simple words.

The patient has been awoken from a medically induced coma. He is communicating with others. He responds with simple phrases.

Remember, he was intubated, so he's communicating as best he can. He's still undergoing diagnostic testing, Zuzanna Pankros, spokesperson for the Poznań hospital, told us.

"Regarding sensation, it has returned, but it's too early to say whether the patient will regain full mobility. A number of tests are necessary to determine this.

The most important thing is that the recovery process has been completed and the patient is breathing on his own.

His condition is not life-threatening.

He's a young, strong boy. You can see he has the will to fight," adds our interviewee.
