Good to know she's okay and I hope this doesn't ruin her career or anything. She's doing a great job voicing Ryou in Clannad.

I am so relieved she is ok. I met her at Nekocon a few years back along with Chris Ayres. She is one of the nicest and most down to earth people you could hope to meet. Glad she's doing better and hopefully there will be no permanent damage done. To have to deal with this is simply awful, especially at her young age.

When I read "broken neck" it sent chills down my spine. Thankfully, she is on the mend.

I met her in Houston at her first unofficial con appearance. Chris Ayres wanted to give her a taste of the con experience. She was so nice at the Jinki Extend panel. I got her autograph in pencil because silly me didn't bring a pen and all she could find in her purse was a pencil. Hmm. now that I think about it, that may have been one of the first autographs she ever gave....but anyway:

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Brittney!!

It could be much worse. My sister was in a car accident years ago and the list of problems was longer than a broken neck. (Took a while but she's quite fine now.) She had a long recovery time though.

I wish this article mentioned an estimated recovery time. I hope Brittney will be able to keep doing her job and that none of her ongoing roles will be recast. I loved her in Kanon, easily my favorite voice in it, and she always seems to put in just a little more effort than others in her work. I pray for her speedy and complete recovery.

Could someone quote what she wrote on her Facebook page for those of us who haven't got access? Also any idea of what actually happened with crash?

Thank you to my wonderful friends and family for your thoughts and prayers. Can't talk on the phone cause of the neck brace but here's what happened: I hydroplaned on 290 and slid into oncoming traffic where I hit a truck head on-both atleast at 70mph- rolled a few times and ended upside down in the ditch. Noone from t...he truck was hurt(thank god)& I'm just thanking god to be alive right now- all I got was a broken neck but my brains are still in my head and I've still got Matthew, mom&dad, kory&paul, and all of my badass friends which makes me so thankful.yall are the best friends ever so thank you.means the world.I'll c yall soon.love you all-Britt


Wow... she put a picture of her car up too, and I can't even tell what kind it was. She's very fortunate to have made it out as well as she did. Hope for a full recovery.

WHAT?!? She's doing the voice of Ryou in Clannad!? When was this confirmed!? Is the dub being shown already!?

Anyway, I'm glad she's feeling better. Very Happy

Wow, that could have easily turned deadly, she's very lucky to only have a broken neck. Get well soon Brittney!

Oh. I don't have Anime Network on my TV anymore, so I can't watch it until the billingual DVDs come out.
