What Happened

Timothy works for Union Pacific Railroad on a traveling gang. During the last few months he has been working in Marshalltown, Iowa. Tim was riding in a car with two co-workers back to their motel in Marshalltown for the night on March 6th. We do not know the details of the accident but their vehicle left the roadway and rolled down an embankment. Tim and his co-workers were all ejected from the vehicle. Tim was Life Flighted from the Marshalltown hospital to Mercy Medical Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa. Tim suffered a fractured C2 vertebrae, compound fracture to his right leg, and had three small brain bleeds as a result of the accident. His leg has been set back in place using an external fixator. He is in a halo brace to stablize the vertebrae in his neck. Tim remains in the ICU at Mercy Medical on a ventilator and in a coma. He is listed in critical but stable condition. The Dannar family will continue to update Tim's blog.
