Report: Drake Johnson Injured by Forklift at Track Practice

Michigan fifth-year senior running back Drake Johnson was involved in an accident at the indoor track facility in Ann Arbor on Wednesday that hospitalized him, according to a statement released by U-M on Thursday morning.

The statement reads:

"On Wednesday, an accident occurred at the indoor track and field building involving student-athlete Drake Johnson. He was evaluated by a U-M athletic department team physician and was referred to the U-M Health system for further evaluation."

No details other than the statement have been released, though message board rumors say that Johnson was run over by a forklift while stretching for track practice on Wednesday.

All I can say is thank god.
