Our hearts go out to rodeo icon Spencer Wright. His family is experiencing something that no parent ever wants to go through. Sadly, Wright's 3-year-old son is in critical condition after an accident. The young child drove a toy tractor into a Utah river earlier this week. While rescue crews saved the child, sadly it may have been too late.
Doctors declared the 3-year-old brain dead. Levi Wright accidentally drove his toy tractor into a nearby river. Emergency crew took the toddler to a hospital in Salt Lake City. The incident happened on Tuesday. Wright family spokesperson Mindy Sue Clark delivered the sad news to the public.
"Levi's heart is beating on its own, he has a will to breathe but his sweet little brain was without oxygen too long and there is no coming back from that," Clark posted on Facebook "We cuddled him all night and feel strongly that his spirit is no longer with us. We can't be selfish and drag this out for days, he doesn't deserve that. Shortly we will stop care and hold him close until his last breath on earth.
