Long Road to Recovery for U.S. Soccer Player Charlie Davies After Car Accident

USA Soccer forward Charlie Davies has finally left the hospital after enduring serious injuries resulting from a horrific car accident on the George Washington Parkway in Northern Virginia. One of the passengers, Ashley Roberta, lost her life and the auto accident left Davies with a series of injuries.

Charlie Davis suffered a lacerated bladder, fractures to the tibia and femur bones in his right leg, facial fractures, and a left elbow fracture. He was air-lifted to the hospital where doctors repaired his lacerated bladder and then inserted titanium rods in both the femur, the bone in the thigh, and the tibia, the bone in the lower leg.

Although Davies has a long list of problems to deal with and a long recovery, Dr. James DeBritz is confident that Davies can return to play soccer in the future. Doctors estimate that Davies’ injuries will take between six and twelve months to overcome.
