Water Polo Star Toring Badly Injured in Accident
Jim Toring, a former UCLA and Harvard-Westlake High water polo star competing for the U.S. national team, is in a coma at a Paris hospital after being struck by a bus.
Doctors have performed surgery to drain fluid from Toring’s skull and relieve pressure from cranial swelling.
The accident occurred early Monday morning. The U.S. team had just finished competition in the French Open when Toring, walking with teammates, stepped from behind a parked bus and into the path of an oncoming bus. He was reportedly thrown about 30 feet and suffered multiple head injuries.
