“Justin broke twenty-one bones, has a head injury, and burns to his left shoulder and arms,” said Exum’s family.
Exum is under 24-hour care and at this time is unable to walk for what is being told to the family by doctors to be for another two months.
“Justin is undergoing a rehabilitation process to help with his recovery from this unfortunate accident.”
Doctors have informed the family that he may be out of work for up to a year; possibly longer.
