According to the S-T, the incident happened when, "his jacket got stuck in a taxi door when he was dropped off at the Rosemont CTA station. As the cab began to pull away, the 80-year-old priest fell to the ground and hit his head, fracturing his skull." His doctors say he's in critical but "very stable" condition and has improved since the accident happened. His progress is also being updated at his website.
