Jacob Nelson, a student of Columbia High School in Columbia, Il, remains in bad shape following a labor day weekend crash that killed soccer player Crawford Bryant.

Columbia High School is organizing a vigil for Nelson to pray for his recovery from the devastating accident.

The vigil is set for 7:00 p.m on September 10th at the Columbia High School Football field.

The school posted about the Wednesday night vigil on Tuesday on all social platforms.

“Join us as we come together for a prayer vigil in support of CHS Student Jacob Nelson. We will meet on the football field to lift Jacob and his family up in prayer during this difficult time. All are welcome. Let’s stand united as a community and show our love and strength,” the post read.

Jacob Nelson was one of four Columbia High School students involved in a terrible crash on Labor Day weekend that led to the death of soccer star Crawford Bryant.

The accident occurred around 3 p.m. on Sunday, September 1st on Hanover Road, about a quarter-mile west of Illinois Route 3.

According to the Illinois State Patrol (ISP), a Waterloo police officer had seen the vehicle speeding on Illinois Route 3 shortly before it was involved in the deadly crash.

One person died and three others were injured.

Of the injured, one has reportedly been discharged while two – including Nelson – remain in hospital.

A memorial was held for the deceased in the crash, Crawford Bryant, 15, at Oerter Park Thursday, September 5th.

“He was this gentle, soft-spoken, kindhearted young man,” Bryant’s former coach said. “Then he stepped on the field and suddenly became Superman.”

“He had the most contagious laugh ever,” one unidentified friend said. “It could be the most unfunny joke ever, but just hearing his laugh could make you crack up.”
