South Africa’s Sport24 informs us that the Brumbies forward Shawn Mackay has been hit by a car after going out with team mates to drown sorrows in the wake of the team’s loss in Durban.
Durban – Brumbies rugby forward Shawn Mackay is in a Durban hospital after being hit by a car following his side’s Super 14 loss to the Sharks in South Africa.
It is understood Mackay, 26, was struck as he and several players were making their way back to their team hotel after they went out following the 35-14 loss on Saturday night
On the news tonight, they said they were fusing his spine (no more footy for him, even in the best case scenario) tonight, then bringing him out of the coma, and then they’ll find out if he’s paralysed or not. What a rotten thing to happen. I hope he’s not paralysed.

And now put into a Medically induced coma.

There’s a possibility of paralysis, according to ABC News. Shocking stuff
For those of you on Facebook a group has been created to show your support for Macca.
I believe it was created by a die hard Brumbies fan shocked by the news.
