Jon Wilhite's long road to recovery

Former Cal State Fullerton player Jon Wilhite was the only survivor in the car accident that took the life of Angels player Nick Adenhart, Henry Pearson, & Courtney Stewart. Wilhite was internally decapitated in the crash and spent months recovering at the UCI Medical Center.

95% of people with his injuries die, but the strength of his neck kept him together. All those hours spent crouching down on the dirt of Goodwin Field saved his life.

Wilhite told me that he's worked hard his entire life, why stop now?
