Glover (aka Kyle Glover), 11, was critically injured earlier in July after being hit by a jet ski driven by a family friend on Lake Lanier. A 15-year-old girl with Glover also was injured. Both were life flighted to Children's Hospital in Atlanta.

A family friend, Jeffrey S. Hubbard, reportedly was driving the jet ski that hit the youths, who were in inner tubes being pulled by a pontoon boat. No charges have been filed, and alcohol is not believed to be a factor in this accident.
