Eric was in an accident during a Monday test session after Gainesville. He blew a tire towards the end of the track. Part of that tire remained on the rim causing a severe oscillation (left to right) which rattled his head pretty badly. He was in a coma and was airlifted to Shands Medical Center. He underwent a craniotomy and was expected to be kept in a drug-induced coma for three weeks. A few days later, his organs started giving out. He was taken off life support and passed away that Friday.
