Hurley crashed his Dodge Charger into a tree at South Quad Drive and Highland Road near the south gate of LSU’s campus.
“Colin would like to thank the first responders, the incredible doctors and nurses at Our Lady of the Lake Health and the many Tiger Fans for their care and compassion. Colin is resting and is stable while more tests and care are being administered. We are confident that Colin will make a full recovery from this terrible accident,” Hurley’s family said in a statement Thursday afternoon.
Officials told WBRZ that firefighters pulled Hurley out of his car, where he started to go in and out of consciousness and had a large cut on his face.
The cause of the crash has not been released; however, officials believe impairment was not involved, according to the report.
Hurley is a freshman and former four-star recruit who didn’t play for LSU this season. He appeared in last year’s spring game, throwing for 77 yards and a touchdown.
