Sheller update
Here is an update from UCLA on Sean Sheller. His dad, Steve Sheller, said Sean injured the leg while driving the ATV (not off-roading) on a family vacation in Lake Havasu. He was driving on a curve to the right and when the vehicle began to tip to the left, Sheller stuck out his left leg to keep the vehicle from tipping over. Sheller injured his left knee and had an open wound inside the left ankle. He had an MRI on the knee today, but the results were unavailable.
Here's the release:
Here is additional information on the accident suffered by UCLA redshirt sophomore tackle Sean Sheller last Friday evening at Lake Havasu.
Sheller was driving a vehicle that is considered an ATV because it can go off road, but it is also a street legal vehicle which the family uses for transportation. It is smaller than a jeep but bigger than a golf cart, according to Steve Sheller, Sean's father.
The accident did not occur in an off-road situation, according to Mr. Sheller. Sean Sheller was driving on a combination of asphalt and gravel in a park with his sister and some of her friends in the vehicle when the accident occurred. As he was taking a right curve, the vehicle started to tip to the left. Sean attempted to make sure his sister and her friends were not injured by extending his left leg to try to keep the vehicle from tipping and he was injured in the process.
Sheller underwent an MRI on his left knee this afternoon and the results should be known in the next day or two, according to Mr. Sheller.
About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
