Tough news from Atlanta: MyFoxAtlanta and EastCobbPatch are reporting that UAH sophomore forward Kyle Lysaght was critically injured in an automobile accident on Friday afternoon.
Police said Lysaght was a frontseat passenger in a gray 2007 Lexus heading southbound on Johnson Ferry shortly before 5 p.m. Friday.
As the vehicle approached the intersection of Woodlawn, it was struck by a white 2005 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck turning left onto Woodlawn from northbound Johnson Ferry.
The Lexus then collided with a utility pole in a traffic island, seriously injuring Lysaght, Pierce said.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Kyle. I’ve been in contact with a couple of his teammates, and they have filled me in on some of his injuries. I would term this situation very worrisome. Out of respect for Kyle’s privacy, I believe that the best thing for all of us to do is show our concern for our him and not pass around rumors/facts about how he’s doing. We should just all focus on a full recovery.
Get well, Kyle.
Update: Coach Kleinendorst has been told by Kyle’s father that Kyle’s “stablilized” and it “looks like the worst is behind him,” according to Budd McLaughlin at The Huntsville Times.
Sending prayers and positive thoughts.
Wishing for the best
