FC Dallas’ Ryan Hollingshead continues to improve after being hit by car

Ryan Hollingshead would be the first to say he’s not a hero.

Yet the humble midfielder for FC Dallas keeps playing that role, whether it’s for his brother’s church, for kids at a Haitian orphanage or for an accident victim in a North Texas ice storm.

“Life takes you in different directions,” said Hollingshead, who is working his way back from broken vertebrae he suffered while helping a motorist in January.

Hollingshead and his wife were on the way to pick up a friend who had become stranded in the storm when they witnessed another driver slam into a median.
