CAPPS SCHEDULED FOR SURGERY FOLLOWING ACCIDENT

(07/05/2005)
Calhoun resident Clyde Capps, 19, has been placed in a step-down unit at Charleston Area Medical Center.

Capps was critically injured last Wednesday when he wrecked his motorbike in the Stinson area.

Family members said he has received a severe spinal injury which will likely keep him from walking again.

He is scheduled for surgery mid-week, surgeons will implant rods next to his spinal column, which will help him to sit erect.

Family members have been at his bedside since the accident happened.
