A high school football player that was paralyzed in a car crash is doing better this morning. Joseph Toomey was airlifted to Atlanta Tuesday. Last week, he was paralyzed from the chest down in a car crash. This morning his mother reported he was groggy, but able to move his arms and they are very optomistic about his recovery. Toomey was a standout player for the Satuma Gators before the crash. Doctors say he may not walk a gain.
His parents have set up a website to update family and friends on his condition. You will find a link on the right of this page.
