| | Heatley, Thrashers Trying to Recuperate (washingtonpost.com) |
 | | Heatley was driving his Ferrari home from a team function on the night of Sept. 29, allegedly traveling on the wrong side of the road at speeds in excess of 80 mph in a residential zone, when the car hit a wall and split in half, catapulting Heatley and Snyder, 25, into the road. |
 | | Six days later Snyder died from severe brain injuries suffered in the crash, and Heatley is struggling to recover from injuries to his knee, shoulder and jaw and faces five criminal charges including one felony count of vehicular homicide that carries a maximum sentence of 15 years (alcohol was not a factor in the accident). |
 | | Heatley and the Thrashers said a final goodbye to Snyder on Friday, flying to his funeral in Elmira, Ontario, then all of them but Heatley boarded a charter to Washington, where last night they played their first road game since the tragedy and beat the Capitals, 4-3, at MCI Center. |
