The Calgary, Alberta visitor seriously injured when he was struck by a vehicle March 13 has returned home for treatment of his critical injuries.

Relatives of Ron Doornbos, 60, told the Calgary Herald and Calgary television station CTV last Wednesday that the 60-year-old man was flown by a Medevac air ambulance flight to Foothills Medical Center trauma unit in Calgary.

Doornbos was critically injured when a SUV jumped the curb at the intersection of Saguaro and Palisades Blvds. He and his wife, Patti Lou, also 60, were waiting to cross. She was killed in the collision, along with Robert (Bob) Bonta, 72, and his wife, Karen, 71, of Wever, Iowa.

Both couples were vacationing here. They did not know each other.

Doornbos’ family members said he remains in a medically-induced coma. Initially, he was treated in the intensive care unit of HonorHealth Scottsdale Hospital. He has already undergone five surgeries, according to Ron’s sister-in-law and Patti’s triplet sister, Terri Dutka.

The Doornbos couple took out emergency travel medical coverage ahead of their Arizona trip.

Rhonda Francis, another of Lou’s sisters, said Ron’s family has been at his bedside since the crash.

“They said he’ll have profound weakness in his upper extremities, and first of all we have to get him to wake up, although he is showing some signs,” Francis told a television reporter.

Additional personal information about Lou was revealed in her obituary. One of her proudest moments was participating in the Olympic Torch Relay for the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary. She also volunteered in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.

A fund drive, Ron’s Road to Recovery, has been created to support his recovery.

In a television interview, Ron’s daughter, Danielle Doornbos, said her father’s condition had stabilized and she has faith that he will pull through.

“He’s strong, so he’s a fighter. We’ll get through this,” she said.

Dutka commented that “the doctor said that he could wake up today, he could wake up tomorrow. You just never know with this type of situation. They don’t know the degree of brain damage.”

The police investigation into the fatal crash is continuing. A Maricopa County Sheriff Department spokesman said in a statement to CTV that once the evidence is finalized, the case will be sent to the county Attorney’s Office for review whether charges will be filed against the 27-year-old driver.
