(THV11) – A Little Rock native and former college baseball player is thriving two years after a brain injury that doctors thought he might not survive. “I absolutely remember nothing,” said 21-year-old Luke McKnight of the incident. “I remember nothing.”
For McKnight, putting together the pieces of what happened that weekend in early 2023 has been impossible. He’s been told that he was spending the weekend in Fayetteville with friends during a rare weekend off from his own season at Southern Arkansas Tech. His mom, Catherine McKnight, can fill in the gaps from there.
“I got a call from the police saying, ‘Is your son Luke McKnight?’ Catherine remembered. “And I said, ‘It is.’ And they said ‘He’s been in an accident in Fayetteville.” It was a car accident that left Luke with severe brain damage and, according to doctors, a 20% chance of survival and a 5% chance of regaining functionality.
