CAPPS YOUTH IMPROVING IN CAMC

(07/02/2005)
Nineteen-year-old Clyde Capps is improving in Charleston Area Medical Center, following a motorbike accident Wednesday near Stinson.

Capps suffered a spinal injury which physicians say will leave him unable to walk, according to a family member.

An air-tube has been removed and he is breathing on his own.

He also suffered head trauma, but a family member says he apparently has no brain damage.

He is scheduled for surgery this Wednesday, a procedure which will reportedly stabilize his back.
