ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Austin Hatch is unlikely to play basketball this season, as he continues to recuperate from a plane crash that killed his father and stepmother in June, his family said in a statement Tuesday night.
Hatch, of Fort Wayne, Ind., who had accepted a scholarship at Michigan starting in 2013, suffered a serious head injury in the crash along with a punctured lung, broken ribs and a broken collarbone.
The crash, on June 24 near Charlevoix, Mich., killed his father, Dr. Stephen Hatch, and his stepmother, Kim Hatch.
Austin Hatch also survived the crash of a plane piloted by Stephen Hatch in 2003 near Fort Wayne, in which the boy's mother, a sister and a brother were killed.
