Illinois: Tree Hospitalizes Carlwell With Severe Concussion



Tree Hospitalizes Carlwell With Severe Concussion: Illinois freshman center Brian Carlwell suffered a severe concussion after the vehicle he and teammate Jamar Smith were in ran into a tree Monday night. Fighting Illini assistant athletic director Kent Brown said Carlwell is being treated at Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, but he did not give further details. Smith, a sophomore guard and the driver at the time of the accident, was also treated for a concussion and was released. The 6-11 Carlwell is Illinois’ top recruit this season despite playing limited minutes as a reserve. The Fighting Illini hosts Northwestern Saturday. [2/14/07]
