Sweetwater trustee John McCann has suffered some memory loss but is expected to make a full recovery from a serious traffic collision according to a close family friend.
McCann was hospitalized after a July 24 collision between two vehicles on Telegraph Canyon Road.
McCann was taken to UCSD Medical Center where he woke up very briefly the next day and said his name.
Now, in an update to NBC 7, a close family friend said McCann's recovery will likely last about a year.
It will be an uphill battle but doctors expect him to eventually fully recover from crash the friend said.
McCann’s vehicle was hit on the left front side, so the collision is not being considered a “head-on” collision according to Chula Vista Police Department Capt. Gary Wedge.
The cause of the crash is under investigation. Police do not suspect alcohol played a factor in the crash.
