Texas Tech LS Kyle Heffron seriously injured in crash
Texas Tech football player Kyle Heffron has sustained serious injuries in a one-vehicle crash in Lubbock.
Police say the 20-year-old sophomore long snapper from San Antonio was not wearing a seatbelt when the pickup truck he was driving hit an underpass around 10:00 am Wednesday. Heffron was ejected from the vehicle on impact.
Cody Heffron, a family member, posted on Twitter that Kyle was “going into surgery for a ruptured spleen” at around 2:00 pm Wednesday afternoon.
Police are investigating the cause of the crash, but have said it appears drugs or alcohol were not a factor.
Heffron was listed in satisfactory condition as of Wednesday afternoon.
