Tony Modra posts post-surgery photos after truck crash
AFL legend Tony Modra is continuing his recovery after a near-fatal truck crash near Victor Harbor in June that left him with facial injuries and required multiple surgeries. He shared two Instagram photos—one from an ICU moment with his family and another a month later—and thanked the SA Ambulance Service and the hospitals that treated him. Modra said he’s getting out and about again and is grateful for the support from healthcare workers, his family, and fans. Reports noted the crash occurred when a cattle truck struck a tree, with his 14-year-old son helping by calling emergency services. He has long been remembered as a standout goal-kicker for Adelaide and Fremantle and has been posting updates as he recovers with titanium plates. The coverage highlights Modra’s gratitude and ongoing healing, with additional photo updates released in subsequent posts.
