Michael was in a single car accident on I66 at exit 66 at 3:20 AM October 21, 2007. He veered off the road and hit an exit sign, launching him into the air. The front wheels hit the guardrail and caused the vehicle to do a complete flip, landing on the front two wheels, head-on, into a tree. Mike suffered major head trauma and a massive laceration on the right side of his head, resulting in severe brain injury. Due to the many areas of head trauma, his brain is swelling to dangerous levels. To prevent further brain damage from swelling, the Neurosurgeon removed a section of his skull on the left side of his head Sunday. There is a four inch laceration located in the occipital area of the back of his head and an injury in the T1-T4 areas of his back. They report no internal injuries or broken bones.
