Brett Lindros improving after snowmobile crash



TORONTO – Brett Lindros is recovering from a snowmobile accident, and his father thinks he might be released from the hospital this weekend.

Lindros, a former NHL player and the younger brother of hockey star Eric Lindros, was listed in fair condition at Toronto's Sunnybrook hospital. The hospital did not say Wednesday when he would be discharged.

"Things are coming along well. He's walking around," his father, Carl Lindros, said Wednesday. "He'll be discharged probably this weekend."

Brett Lindros was on the back of a snowmobile driven by friend Dan Cameron early Sunday when the machine crashed into a rocky shoreline on Crane Lake, about three hours north of Toronto.

Lindros was riding with Cameron because his own snowmobile had earlier crashed through the ice, police said.

Police say alcohol was a factor in the accident. A blood sample from Cameron has been sent for testing. Results could take 4-6 weeks. As a passenger, Lindros did not have to provide a blood sample.
