On Aug. 19, Morgan and his 4-year- old daughter, Helen, were injured on the midway of the fairgrounds when they were run over by an unoccupied horse and carriage. Three other people suf- fered injuries, of a less substantial nature, in the accident as well. Helen Morgan was released from Harborview Medical Center for good last week but her father’s injuries required multiple surgeries and additional time inside the confines of a hospital. He was released from Harborview on Saturday. Since the accident Jake has under- gone two major surgeries in an effort to repair the damage to his face. “What happened to him was that all of the injuries were to his face and head,” Pete Caster / [email protected] explained Mike Morgan, Jake’s father.
