MLB: Chicago Cubs at Pittsburgh Pirates
(Pittsburgh, PA) — The baseball fan who was critically injured, when he fell from the stands at PNC Park last week during a Pirates game is awake and alert now. The family of Kavan Markwood posted to his GoFundMe campaign page over the weekend, saying he is doing better. The 20-year-old fell off a 21-foot outfield wall last Wednesday. Security guards raced into help him as he laid knocked out on the turf.
Kavan’s family says he still has a “long road ahead” when it comes to recovery, but he is making encouraging progress. On Saturday, a spokesperson for the Pirates released a statement on Markwood’s fall, saying he may have had two beers to drink, but it does not appear he showed any signs of intoxication at the time of his fall.
