LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — A 14-year-old boy is recovering from a car crash in an Uber that sent him to the ICU Thursday night.

Ty Henderson’s parents, Todd and Aresha Henderson, said he was catching an Uber ride home from basketball practice. Todd says police told the family the Uber driver was under the influence during the ride.

“He let it be known quick as day that it was the Uber driver’s fault, 100%. And I said what made you say 100%? He said because the Uber driver got took to jail for a DUI,” said Todd.

The accident happened just before 9 p.m. Thursday, but Ty’s parents say he was missing until 6 a.m. Friday.

“We text into FaceTime into his friends trying to get to see what was going on because it’s not like him. He’s a very responsible kid,” said Todd.

Aresha says she didn’t sleep the entire night as she continued to look for Ty.

“My phone rang, and it was the trauma nurse. She said this is Christine calling from UMC pediatrics. She said I just want to let you know that we have your son, Ty, here. And I said what?” said Aresha.

The family says they were supposed to be enjoying the holiday season, but Ty now has a long road to recovery.

“It’s Christmas time. His Christmas is going to be spent sitting with neck braces,” said Todd.

“He’s in and out of consciousness. He’s not really responsive at all. He has broken bones in his face fractures in his face. His temple bone is fractured as well. His ribs are fractured. So they said it’s going to be a long road to recovery for him,” said Aresha.

Ty’s parents say he was just started a successful basketball career at his high school.

“He won’t be able to play sports anymore,” said Aresha.

The family says Uber hasn’t contacted them about Ty’s accident.

“An Uber home almost cost my son his life, and it’s just unacceptable,” said Todd.

The rideshare company did respond to News 3, saying, “Our hearts go out to the rider’s family as they recover. We take the safety of the Uber community very seriously and are looking into this further.”

According to Uber, the company has a strict no-alcohol/drug policy, and if they receive reports of suspected impaired driving, the driver may be deactivated.

“There should be some type of random testing for drug and alcohol to where you know you’re not jeopardizing the people who are patronizing the company’s life,” said Aresha.

“He’s wrong, and I put the company at fault for even having people like this drive,” said Todd.

The family has a GoFundMe for assistance during Ty’s recovery.
