Jabari Bailey had finally made it, playing for Tuskegee University.
But on July 11, everything changed for the former East High School linebacker.
“Lucky?” Bailey said. “Lucky I didn’t die. But I wouldn’t say too lucky.”
Bailey stopped on the side of Frasyer-Raleigh Road on July 11 to help jumpstart a friend's stalled car.
“I was in between the two cars,” Bailey said. “I had one leg between and someone ran into the back of it and crushed the leg.”
Frank Smith, 47, is charged with failing to yield, causing serious injury for the crash.
While Bailey's father is working with the District Attorney's office to push for Smith's charge to be upgraded, the former football player's mind is focused on his new chapter in life.
