Found this on his myspace account....

To all that are friends with Shannon and myself... Shannon was in a really bad car accident last night 06/19/06 at 2:30am. He was on Memorial Parkway heading south toward home and there was some idiot woman going north in the southbound lanes... She hit him head on.
Shannon is currently admitted at Huntsville Hospital in NICU. He has major swelling in his brain which the doctors are keeping a close eye on. If things get worse he'll have to go into surgery. He has a small laceration on his liver, his kidney, and his spleen. All should heal on their own with time. He has a broken right ankle and a broken joint/socket on his pelvis bone on the left side.
All I ask is that you keep him in your prayers and hope he makes it through this whole ordeal.
Thank you,
Marsha

Sorry to hear about Shannon.
I bought some parts off him and he is a great guy to deal with. My prayers go out to him and his family that he may fully recover.

Yea, this sucks. I just met Shannon about a month ago. Him, me and some of the B'ham guys (Phil, 20B John and Stephen) all met a the Korea house and ate dinner. I hate to hear this and hope he is on his way to a speedy recovery.

I talked to his girfriend, Marsha, earlier today. His vital signs are strong but he is busted up pretty good. The organs will heal but the brain swelling could be an issue. The next few days are crictical. He is in the intensive care unit and is not allowed to see visitors. I am proud to call myself his friend and will remember him in my prayers.

I put this in the lounge also since he hangs out there also. Hopefully we'll hear some good news in the next day or two.

I received a message from Marsha last night that Shannon has been moved to a room. He's in 836. I still have no update on his status but I'm going to try to visit one day this week.

I finally had a chance to talk to Shannon's girlfriend Marsha today.. She sent me an email 6 days ago but it was on one of my old accounts..

Anyhow, Shannon is out of N ICU and in his own room (as Don have already mentioned). She told me that he will need some surgery done as his hip socket is distroyed from the accident. I'm thinking about stopping by on my way to Nashville next weekend. If any of you would like to join me, I think it will cheer him on a little bit.
