"Please pray for my son Nathaniel Marston," Elizabeth Jackson wrote on her Facebook page Saturday. "He was in a car accident last night and is in the intensive care on life support. Back and neck broken in several places. Other internal injuries. Please pray that he will recover and walk again."

On Sunday, Jackson indicated that doctors had told her Marston's prognosis was not good. "If he lives he will be paralyzed from the neck down and will not breathe without a ventilator machine," she wrote.
