    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Former NBA center Manute Bol was seriously injured in a car accident, police said.

    Bol was riding in a cab Wednesday night when it rolled over, killing the driver and throwing the 7-foot-7-inch Bol from the car. Bol sustained a head injury and was taken by helicopter to Hartford Hospital, state police spokesman J. Paul Vance said.

    Bol's condition wasn't released Thursday.

    "The doctor said, for his age, he's in extremely good shape and would probably be dead if he wasn't an athlete," longtime friend Andrew Kearns said. "It's going to be a long recovery, unfortunately."

    The accident happened about 30 miles southeast of Bol's home in West Hartford.</div>

    Wow... Thats a shame.

    But... Imagine what the cab driver thought when he saw a huge 7'7" man yelling for him to pick him up... lol

    I hope everything is OK.

    The head is the most important part of your body, and I'm surprised that you can survive when your head is seriously inflicted like that. Also, adults like him should know that you should wear a seat belt.
