USC Trojans running back Stafon Johnson injured his throat in a weightlifting accident Monday and required emergency surgery.
According to USC Rips It, Johnson was bench-pressing with a spotter in the Heritage Hall weight room when the bar slipped from his right hand and fell on his throat at an angle.Witnesses said he was spitting up blood and was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, and is in surgery.
Chris Carlisle, the head strength and conditioning coach who was within 10 feet of the accident, told USC Rips It he was shocked such an accident occurred.
"It was an unfortunate accident and Stafon is getting great care right now," coach Pete Carroll told USC Rips It. "We don't have a lot of information at this point and we'll keep everyone updated, but our thoughts and prayers are with Stafon."
Johnson's recovery time from surgery is currently unknown.
