Howell High School's sophomore quarterback Ryan McAllister reportedly suffered serious injuries in car accident Saturday morning.

The following post is from the Howell Highlanders Football Facebook page:

"Highlander Nation. Please keep Ryan McAllister and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Here is a statement from their family.

"Thank you for all the love and support. Ryan was involved in a vehicle accident this morning. He was transported emergent to Mott. He was a struggling to breath and was sedated. Ryan was intubated to protect his airway. CT imaging of his brain shows no bleeds to which is a blessing. Ryan has a small pneumothorax but is stable. Ryan has a non displaced C5/C6 fracture of his neck. His neuro response has been great in all 4 extremities. He just returned from more advanced imaging of his neck but results not back as of yet. He may have fracture of his left lower leg but not a priority.

"He is stable but sedated so we have not been able to talk to him.

"Thank you again for your support of Ryan. Our family is forever thankful."
