I read somewhere that it was just a fall, but some sites say he is in critical condition. Here's some more info/speculation: http://www.musclerides.com/forum2/showthread.php?t=2345

That's the first I heard of this, but I know Bob is a very reputable guy, so what he says is pretty much fact IMHO. That's sad to hear for everyone in the car world.

We have lost a legend. Many got sucked into the TV persona and were not big fans. For me, I had huge respect for the cars he built / managed. Simply a hero car builder in my eyes. A lot of us have a lot to learn before we catch up with things he was doing 20 years ago! The man built some cars!

RIP Boyd!
