Brighton Man in Medically-Induced Coma After CrashBrighton Man in Medically-Induced Coma After Crash

11/19/13 - The family of a Brighton man is hoping for the best after doctors put him in a medically-induced coma following a car crash earlier this month. 24-year-old Tomas Orndorf was critically injured in the November 9th crash that authorities say happened as he was driving at a high rate of speed on Brighton Road around 3am and lost control of his car, veered off the roadway and hit several trees. After Orndorf was extricated from the wreckage by Brighton firefighters, he was transported by helicopter to the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor. Doctors have since placed him in a drug-induced coma in an attempt to help his brain heal. The family says while they are encouraged by incremental improvements, they’ve also created a donation page after being contacted by friends and family wanting to know how they could help. The link to that page is posted below. (JK)
