    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.
    Two plane crashes and lived through em! Wow
    How does he get on another plane in his life, sheesh...
    RIP to his family

    This is a weird, sad and interesting story. The kid basically loses his entire family in two different plain crashes in which he survives? That's crazy. He's almost living a real life Final Destination.

      Yeah that has to be the most insane story involving tragedy ive ever heard. 2 separate plane crashes taking out pretty much your whole family? Not sure if he has any other siblings, but possibly being the lone survivor? Crazy stuff man. Amazing strength for him to be able to live thru all that not only physically but mentally.
