A/N: Hello, I am a great reader of Jane Austen fanfiction. So when I had this idea for a Pride and Prejudice story, I decided to go with it, because it seemed different from what had been done to update the classic tale thus far. Please Read and Review!
English Football Star Critically Injured in High Speed Crash
14, November 2001
London, England (The London Gazette)—
Manchester United prodigy, William Darcy, 23, was critically injured last evening when his sports car flipped over a guard rail on the way to his Derbyshire home.
Darcy's car was apparently forced by a black unidentified Range Rover into the side of the rail. His BMW then flipped over the rail and into oncoming traffic where another car, unable to stop, collided with the side of his vehicle.
Rescuers arrived at the scene shortly after and were luckily able to pull a living Darcy from the vehicle where he was immediately rushed to Hospital where he was listed in critical condition.
Examiners state that Darcy has suffered a crushed clavicle, broken arms, crushed vertebrae and severally bruised spinal cord which may result in paralysis.
Darcy had just come off a phenomenal first year with Manchester United, leading the way with 35 goals. It was undisputed that he would have received a place on the English national team to play in the World Cup, but now England will have to do without perhaps its most promising new comer.
New owner of Manchester United, Catherine DeBourgh had this to say following the accident, "What has happened to William is a shame and terrible, terrible loss to the team of Manchester United. Myself, his sister Georgiana and the rest of the team's hopes are with him during this time. Thank you."
No word has been released as of yet as to whether Darcy will survive this horrible accident.
Before anyone seeks to kill me, know that this is only an introduction and that Darcy will get better. The first chapter shall be up momentarily. Thanks bunches --- IntuitiveIntelligence.
