Music minister seriously injured in car accident
___DALLAS--A Dallas church is asking Christians around the state to join them in prayer for their minister of music who was seriously injured in an automobile accident Oct. 5.
___David Jackson, 24, had stopped at a stop sign at an Arlington intersection when he was rear-ended by a 10-wheel bobtail truck.
___Pastor Don Cole of Highland Baptist Church in Dallas said the truck struck Jackson's small car so hard that the truck's bumper struck him in the back of the head.
___Jackson is in Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth in a coma. Doctors expect the coma to be lengthy and make no prognosis of his condition when the coma lifts.
___Jackson has been on the church's staff for three months and was married to his wife, Linsey, about two months ago. He graduated from Dallas Baptist University in 2000, and his wife is employed in the DBU financial aid office.
