This just came down through the Fiat pipeline. I don't have any more information than this... Let's keep him and his loved ones in our prayers.

"James Montebello had something break inside his head
yesterday evening. He is in a coma in Mills and
it don't look too good. Seems like brain stem damage..

I'm not sure how many of you know him, but he is one
of the good people of the world, so put all your powers
into helping him here."

Does anyone else here have more information?

This is terrible. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Oh crap! He's got to be one of the top technical resources on this board!
Never met him in person but would like to some day.

I'm definitely sending good thoughts that way, hoping to hear some good news.

Shocking news. I always knew when I looked at a reply from James I would learn something. I hope he fully recovers soon.

James is an awesome person. Major prayers for him.

Let's see if we can get a closer source and find out how we can help.

I hope this can turn into good news...

Got to meet and sit next to James at the last Bay Area breakfast. Very nice man and very knowledgable about our cars. Thoughts and prayers James.

Bay area people, keep us informed and let us kown if there is anything we can do for James and his family.
