ROCKWELL — West Rowan High School volleyball coach Jan Dowling was hospitalized with injuries described as life-threatening after a motorcycle accident on Sunday. According to her brother, a Monday surgery went “extremely well.”

Dowling was transported to Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem following the accident, which occurred near U.S. Hwy. 52 and Stone Road in Rockwell around 1:30 p.m.

Around 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Dowling’s brother, Jared Safley, said, “Jan is out of surgery and back in Trauma ICU recovering. The surgery went extremely well with the surgery team being able to repair the major damage areas. Still have one issue they are going to do some additional scans on later tonight, but the surgery today was critical and things went as well as we could have hoped for.”

Safley said he was grateful for everyone who had prayed for his sister since the accident.

“Thank you to all of you who have been praying for her,” Safley said. “Our family has felt those prayers and the Lord has been faithful as she always is in fulfilling His plans for her. We continue to ask for your prayers as she has a long long road ahead of her.”

Safley added that Dowling would likely remain in TICU for several days.

Following the accident, Dowling was transported to the hospital with severe internal bleeding.

“The care team was able to eventually contain the bleeding and overnight she has stabilized to the point to where she has now been taken to surgery,” Safley said. “She is a fighter and we are trusting and resting in knowing that the Great Physician, Jehovah-Rapha, is in charge and has a plan that we must trust in. We would love you to join us in praying for her and for the care team who is treating her. I will do my best to provide updates as we get them.”
