Roth hit a rock embankment and broke
his helmet, according to news reports. He was flown to the UC San
Diego Medical Center, where he underwent surgery to remove a piece of
his skull to relieve pressure on his brain, according to an account by Bruce Bigelow on Xconomy.
Bradley Fikes of the San Diego U-T
reported that Roth is expected to kept in a coma for at least several
days until his condition improves.
J.T. Thomas, chairman of the stem cell
agency, said in a statement,
“Our thoughts, prayers and best wishes for a full recovery are with Duane and his family.”
Roth, CEO of Connect, an organization
that supports the technology industry, has served on the
governing board of the $3 billion California stem cell agency since
2006. He has been a strong voice for business at the agency and likely would have been active participant in board discussion this Thursday of one of the agency's major initiatives
that will benefit business – a $70 million stem cell clinic plan.
