He, his brother and grandmother where life flighted to UTMB from the accident.

Donovan is a fine young man and a very important part of Tiger athletics. This is his senior year, very tough way to start it.

I hate to see this even though Jasper & Silsbee aren't on the best of terms it is still a bad situation. Our prayers are with him and his family.

Silsbee’s Donovan Harris, a state champion in the 110-meter hurdles, was listed in critical condition Thursday after a fatal car accident Wednesday on Business 96 near Silsbee.

Harris’ Toyota Camry was traveling south on 96 when a Ford Expedition traveling north jumped lanes and struck Harris’ vehicle head-on at about 4:40 p.m. Wednesday.

Harris, a receiver for the Tigers, was taken to Christus St. Elizabeth before being moved to Galveston for head trauma a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety said Thursday.

After striking Harris’ Camry, the Expedition then rolled on its right side and was struck on the roof by a Chevy Silverado.

A 1-year-old child in the Expedition was pronounced dead at the hospital following the accident.

Reports came in late Thursday evening Harris was moved from ICU to the children’s hospital and was alert and eating.
