A GoFundMe account has been set up for a family struggling after two members were critically injured in a rollover accident in Burnet County.
Shawn Lingo and his 11-year-old son, James Spiller, were ejected from their vehicle on Sunday, Sept. 18, as both sustained life-threatening injuries. Lingo was transported to Seton Medical Center of Williamson in Round Rock, while Spiller was STARflighted to Dell Children’s Hospital in Austin.
The GoFundMe page was set up by Patsy Stephens, whose sister Rachel Lingo is the wife of Shawn Lingo and mother of Spiller. The goal is to raise $5,000 to help the family cover some of their day to day bills for the next few months while their loved ones recuperate. So far, $1,275 has been raised for the family.
According to an update on the page, Shawn Lingo underwent back surgery and has been moved to a different floor to begin physical therapy.
