RICHARDSON -- Twelve days have passed. Ryan Hollingshead still is in a neck brace, but there was progress Wednesday; it was the first day he was able to get out of bed for more than a few minutes at a time.
Hollingshead, FC Dallas' 25-year-old midfielder Hollingshead, is mending physically and emotionally, managing a few smiles between winces while describing the harrowing events of the night of January 6.
Most North Texans remember it as the Friday when icy roads snarled traffic. For Hollingshead, it's the night he and another good Samaritan were standing on the Bush Tollway shoulder helping a fellow motorist when they were struck by another car and launched into the air.
