John Force moved to California rehab center. Celebrates daughter’s birthday with ice cream
John Force has left a Virginia hospital to move to a rehabilitation center closer to his home in California and the NHRA great celebrated the news by taking his daughter for ice cream on her birthday.
Brittany Force wrote on social media the stroll outside the hospital - Force appears to be in a wheelchair and has a cast on his right arm - was in celebration of her 38th birthday.
Force suffered a traumatic brain injury in a fiery, 300-mph crash at the Virginia Nationals last month. The 75-year-old was first in neurological intensive care and then moved into acute neuro care at the Virginia hospital. Among his other injuries is a fractured sternum.
Force's car had a catastrophic engine failure at the finish line and his dragster slammed driver-side into the left concrete guard wall and then careened back into the right wall.
