Tony Modra's wife has thanked the two first responders who rushed to the AFL great's aid after a truck accident.
Modra is in a critical condition in an Adelaide hospital with head injuries after an accident on his cattle property on Thursday afternoon.
The former Adelaide and Fremantle star was injured when a tree branch was believed to have broken through the windshield of a truck he was driving.
Modra's wife Erica has expressed her gratitude to the two responders who were first at the scene of the accident at Back Valley, about 90km south of Adelaide.
Former Crows captain Mark Ricciuto, who remains one of the injured footballer's best friends, relayed text messages from Erica Modra on his Triple M breakfast show on Friday morning.
