Teen injured in crash out of coma

By  Barbara Norton

Matthew Bryant is no longer in a coma. Reports of  Matthew coming out of his coma on Friday were confirmed Saturday by Poway High School principal Scott Fisher.

Matthew, 15, and his brother Michael, 17, were critically injured in a three-car crash Sept. 5 on Twin Peaks Road on their way home from school. Both remain hospitalized after multiple surgeries. Michael is expected to be released from the hospital in two weeks, according to Fisher. He has been reporting his brother’s condition on social media.

Two other teens riding with the Bryant brothers, Joseph Casteloes and Christian Islay, returned to school by Friday the week of the accident, Fisher said earlier.

According to the San Diego County Sheriff, a Ford Escort driven westbound by Michael Bryant drifted into oncoming traffic, struck a vehicle in the eastbound lane, then slid into another vehicle. Those in the other vehicles received minor injuries.

    How are the other innocent drivers doing? bam

    • Marissa Watson

      It was a freak accident. This comment is inappropriate because they are hurting and they are slowly recovering. The "innocent" drivers are fine. You need to be respectful and stay off of this page. BAM!

        It wasn't a "freak" accident. But I agree that Guest's comment was uncalled for and it is wonderful news that things are looking much better for the boys.

      According to the article…" Those in the other vehicles received minor injuries."

        Thanks Rooney for letting us know the other innocent drivers are going to be ok. After all they too have family and friends concerned for their welfare.
