William was injured in a vehicle accident while driving home from a friend’s camp in Arkansas during rainy conditions. After briefly looking down at his GPS, he missed a curve, struck a culvert, and rolled his vehicle multiple times. The crash caused a severe neck injury, with fractured vertebrae compressing his spinal cord. He was later transported to a trauma center, where he began his ongoing recovery journey.
