VEGA, TEXAS -- A wheelchair-accessible van is being donated to the family of the Vega football player who suffered a spinal cord injury last year.

Gridiron Heroes Spinal Cord Injury Foundation plans to present a wheelchair-accessible van to Luis Morales and his family during halftime at Friday night's Vega High School football game.

It was last September when a Morales, a junior, collided with a retaining wall after he was pushed out of bounds.

Morales suffered a C-5/C-6 spinal cord injury. He returned to school this past January.

Gridiron said the donated van will be the first wheelchair-accessible vehicle the family has used since the injury.

This will be the eighth wheelchair-accessible van the non-profit organization has donated. Gridiron Heroes Spinal Cord Injury Foundation was started in 2003 to "provide immediate and long-term resources and support to individuals sustaining catastrophic spinal cord injury through activities associated with high school football."
