A Como-Pickton teen suffered a severe injury this week while clearing brush, and the community is coming together to fundraise for his medical costs.
Koby Crump, 17, suffered an accident on Nov. 29 while tree-trimming, according to community members. He was taken to Parkland Hospital in Dallas, where he later underwent surgery for a spinal injury.

Crump is a junior at Como-Pickton High School, as well as a volunteer firefighter.
