Former City Councilman Involved in Tennessee Car Accident

James “Super” Wolfe is recovering in the hospital from injuries he sustained during a car accident in the beginning of March that he said left him paralyzed for two hours.

Wolfe sustained neck, spine and shoulder injuries from the accident and has been unable to work.  He said that he might need surgery on his neck, which has been in a brace since the crash.  Wolf is planning to go back to the doctor this week to discuss the possible operation.

Wolfe was driving his Lincoln Navigator when he was rear-ended at the intersection of U.S. 45 and North Parkway.  He was with a friend on their way to do some work with his nonprofit organization.  According to Wolfe, he was stopped due to traffic in front of him when he felt the impact from behind.

The passenger in Wolfe’s vehicle was not injured in the crash and had put a hand under Wolfe’s head to help stabilize him after he was thrown across the armrest.  Wolfe was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the accident and was taken to Jackson-Madison County General Hospital for treatment for his injuries.

“I was paralyzed around a couple of hours – couldn’t move my arms, hands or neck – and after being laid out for a while, I could feel my feet moving, wiggle my feet and then my arm came back to me,” said Wolfe.  He also said that he is still in pain and has been taking medication to manage it.
