Former two time Ring of Honor tag team champion and recent competitor on Heat posted the following on his MySpace Blog:
I was driving back to Chicago with Adam Pearce and Dave Prazak after the ROH Dayton show. Although some people consider Adam a “rulebreaker” in ROH, I have zero beef with him when it comes to ROH. My focus WAS completely on tagging with Jimmy and now is on making him pay…but that’s a whole different story.
It had been raining all weekend. We hit a wet patch and all I can say is the car started hydroplaning. I was driving my car. I tried to turn the wheel back but by this time it had gone out of control. Luckily everyone had their seatbelt on. The car did a bunch of rotations sideways, no flipping. We crashed into the median 4 or 5 times. Luckily, no cars hit us from behind or were involved in an accident.
The car was wrecked and we’re taken to the hospital. I, like an idiot always drive with no shoes, actually mashed my small left pinky toe. The doctor thought it would be best to amputate, so I only have 9 toes now. Sillyness, I know. Adam, Dave and I were all treated for back and neck pains.
We all came to Chicago the next day in a rental through my insurance. We all hurt, but we’re all in the business we love the most. And not a car accident or anything would stop me from wrestling for ROH in Chicago.
Last I talked to the other guys, they were seeking medical treatment from thier personal doctors, so I can’t speak much for them. For me, I’m sore and toeless, but I have my life, which is most important.
There’s been a lot of deep-thinking since that happened. At the end of the day, I’m a pro wrestler. I do and I’ve done what I love. Each day forward is another day to do something special. I’ll see ya’ll at the matches…keep supporting pro wrestling.
cheers

BUT as it turns out, while the accident did indeed happen, the toe part was an unintentional rib by his friend who typed up the above post on Colt’s behalf. Here’s the clarification.
