in critical condition today, nearly a week after he was severely
burned in a multiple-car wreck near Mobile.
Edward Vaughn, of Dothan, was badly injured and received burns
to 50 percent of his body during a five-vehicle traffic crash last
weekend.
The 73-year-old Wiregrass community leader was elected state
president of the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People in October.
He was traveling with Dothan residents 61-year-old Nettie Pearl
Bryant and 48-year-old Janice Jones Blackmon when the accident
occurred.
Both women were also injured and are being treated, like Vaughn,
at the University of South Alabama Medical Center in Mobile.
Marie Kirby, secretary of the Limestone County NAACP branch,
told The Dothan Eagle in a story for today's editions that Vaughn
had surgery and a skin graft on Tuesday and is doing better.
Vaughn and Bryant are being treated at the hospital's burn
center but Blackmon's condition improved so she was moved out of
the burn ward, Kirby said.
