Kavan Markwood, the Pittsburgh Pirates fan who fell over 20 feet onto the PNC Park warning track last week, has spoken for the first time since his horrifying accident.
Markwood laid on the dirt in right field after flipping multiple times through the air during the seventh inning of the Pirates’ game against the Chicago Cubs. Other than the medical staff from both teams and EMS running out to assess Markwood, the entire ballpark was stunned by what they witnessed.
The 20-year-old suffered a broken neck, clavicle and back after the accident, but Markwood said he is "all right" despite the long road to recovery ahead.
