The Pittsburgh Pirates fan who suffered a 21-foot fall from the outfield wall that left him in critical condition is awake, alert and able to speak.
A statement on the GoFundMe page set up to support Kavan Markwood said on Saturday: ‘We are so relieved and grateful to share some encouraging news about Kavan.
‘As of this morning, Kavan is awake, alert, and able to speak. After everything he’s been through since the accident on Wednesday night, this progress feels nothing short of miraculous.
‘He still has a long road ahead of him, but today brought a moment of hope that we’ve all been holding onto.
‘Thank you all so much for your prayers, support, and generosity. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts as he begins the next phase of recovery.’
