On Sunday, Ingram, 80, was transported to Mission Hospital in Asheville, NC according to USA Today. Reports suggest Ingram suffered internal bleeding and had surgery Sunday evening, according to posts on a CaringBridge site for Ingram. They read as follows:
Hi, everyone. Jack was in an auto accident on the Morning of Sunday, December 3. He was driving two friends and himself to a favorite breakfast spot when the accident happened.
He was brought to Memorial Mission hospital where it was determined he had a collapsed lung, five broken ribs, and a puncture wound on his left side. He was stabilized in a few hours and moved to ICU, where he is, now.
We appreciate thoughts and prayers. We may not be able to respond to phone calls too readily, but will try and get back to everyone as we are able to do so. And we will try our best to keep this site updated as we know more.
Thank youHi, everyone. Once in ICU on Sunday evening, Jack had more and his care team determined he had internal bleeding from his spleen. He is currently in surgery where they will try and stop the bleeding. We do expect him to be intubated after surgery, and will just take this one moment at a time.
Thanks for thoughts and prayers. We'll continue to keep these updates coming on this page.
