This obviously is a very scary incident. The hope out there is this was nothing more than a freak accident and both individuals will be able to end up walking away without life-changing injuries.
Alabama fans pack the stadium every year and it's easily considered one of the best places to watch a game in all of college football. More updates are sure to come from the horrific accident in Tuscaloosa. It goes without saying, but fans are hopeful everyone involved will heal soon.
