Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Former Texas star wide receiver Jordan Shipley was involved in an accident on his ranch in Texas and is in critical, but stable, condition, his family announced.
"Jordan was involved in an accident this afternoon near his hometown of Burnet," Shipley's family said Tuesday in a statement released by the Longhorns. "The machine he was operating on his ranch caught fire, and although he managed to get out, it was not before sustaining severe burns on his body in the process.
"He was able to get to one of his workers on the ranch who drove him to a local hospital. He was then care-flighted to Austin, where he remains in critical, but stable condition."
Bobby Burton of On Texas Football initially reported that Shipley sustained third-degree burns on over 20% of his body from the accident.
