A retired US judge airlifted off the Island following a traffic accident last month is recovering well at home in Maryland.Kennedy Boone III suffered a broken arm, fractured ribs and a collapsed lung after the October 9 accident on Keith Hall Road, in Warwick.He was airlifted to the US two days later and underwent surgery on his arm at the University of Maryland Hospital in Baltimore.The 70-year-old native of Hagerstown, Maryland, has been visiting Bermuda for about four decades.“It was a couple of days before we were supposed to come home and we got a call that our house was burglarised,” Mr Boone told the Hagerstown Herald-Mail newspaper.He said he was running errands as he and his wife were trying to arrange an early flight home.“It was nobody’s fault other than mine,” he added.Mr Boone was riding his moped down a hill when a truck pulled out from a street he was preparing to turn onto.“I just overcompensated. I went into a wall,” he explained.Mr Boone retired from the Washington Country Circuit Court bench earlier this year, having reached the mandatory retirement age of 70.
