Here’s the statement from California Hospital on Stafon Johnson following more than seven hours of surgery. Doctors expect him to make a full recovery.

California Hospital’s trauma team today treated Stafon Johnson for crushing injuries to his neck as well as severe lanrygeal injuries.
According to Dr. Gudata Hinika, trauma medical director at California Hospital, the patient came in with a threatened airway and required extensive specialized surgery by
an otolaryngologist, which took a little over 7 hours to complete.
The patient is in critical but stable condition. His post-surgical prognosis is good.
