I just saw this via a Facebook post from Yota's sister, but his son, Ethan, has been critically injured in a car accident. Your prayers and donations are appreciated. Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but I didn't see it. https://www.facebook.com/donate/281853049385944/3356482291044727/

Just saw this posting on Facebook.
Prayers to you and your family my friend.
Ethan had complications after his surgery yesterday and took a turn for the worse. His body is strong, however, his brain is hurt to bad to recover. God has a plan that we may never understand. Ethan is loved by so many and will be missed dearly.
In Ethan’s passing, so many lives will be touch. His organs have been donated and will give others a brighter future.
We cannot tell you enough how much we appreciate your prayers, love and support. Please remember our family in the days to come.

Not to be morbid or anything and if asking too much don't answer and excuse my curiosity but, what exactly happened? As a tow truck driver I see quite a bit and those injuries I gleened from here seem pretty extensive.

Thank you for answering, seems it's the luck of the draw in those accidents. I have seen some waljk away from horror and other pass from minor collisions. I am terribly sorry for your loss, a good friend of mine lost his son too and I know from the otside the sorrw. I hope you are strong enough to bear it and have some semblance of happiness in the future.
