As of 24 November, Guildford Heat are reporting that the injuries sustained by Dux in the accident "appear to be potentially far worse than previously thought. Discussions between Dux family members and Frimley Park Hospital consultants have now taken into consideration the possibility that Brian Dux may have suffered permanent disability from his single car automobile accident."
