Just to let everyone know what's going on:
Sniper, Sven Co-op's lead programmer, was recently involved in a serious car crash. Another vehicle ran a red light, colliding with Sniper's vehicle and causing it to careen headfirst into a telephone pole. Sniper's mother was in the car at the time, and was hospitalised after the accident -- it sounds as if she should be released soon, though, so hopefully it wasn't for anything life-threatening.
Sniper's knees were smashed into the glove compartment when the car hit the telephone pole, and one of his kneecaps were broken... thankfully, he suffered no other serious injury. He mentioned on the Team forums: "It scared the hell out of me, and if I didn't wear my seatbelt or if we didn't have airbags, I would be dead right now". He's currently unable to stand without crutches, and will be stuck in a leg immobilizer for the next two months.
As far as I know, the other driver was uninjured.
In any case, if anyone feels like offering a prayer or faith-neutral "thinking of you"-type gesture for their swift and complete recovery, it really wouldn't go amiss, in my opinion.
We'll probably post some more information once we have it, by the way... Sniper's intending to get a picture of what remains of his car, for one thing.
