Thrashers C Snyder dies of injuries from car accident
ATLANTA (Ticker) - Atlanta Thrashers center Dan Snyder died Sunday night, six days after suffering massive brain injuries in a one-car accident involving All-Star teammate Dany Heatley.
Snyder, 25, never regained consciousness after the accident, which occurred late Monday night in Atlanta's Buckhead section. According to police, he was a passenger in a Ferrari driven by Heatley that struck a pillar while traveling in excess of 80 miles per hour near a condominium complex.
Heatley was facing four charges in connection with the accident, including serious injury by vehicle, a felony. Those charges could be upgraded by prosecutors.
Snyder underwent surgery late Monday night at Grady Memorial Hospital to repair a depressed skull fracture.
"We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Dan Snyder," the Thrashers said in a statement. "Dan was a teammate and friend to all of us. We feel a tremendous amount of pain as an organization and extend our deepest sympathies to his family."
