Bolla said Taylor has "head trauma and some internal injuries," and was in a medically-induced coma at the Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital in Valencia, Calif.

A fund has been set up at First Hawaiian Bank to help defray Taylor's medical bills. Her mother, Joy McClendon, has no medical insurance, Bolla said.

The family told Bolla that Taylor, 22, visited her fiance Saturday after she worked a 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift. On her way driving to her mother's house in the Palmdale-Lancaster area, Taylor rear-ended a "motor-home or RV" at around 1 p.m., Bolla said.

"Evidently she fell asleep at the wheel, that's what her family told us," said Bolla, who added he believed Taylor was wearing her seat belt, wasn't drinking and that the driver of the other vehicle was OK. "This is just a case of her being tired."

Bolla said doctors are waiting for Taylor "to open her eyes, and then we'll take it from there."

"Right now she been in the same sitution since we started calling on Monday," Bolla said. "All of our wishes and prayers are with her for a speedy recovery.

"The nurses I've spoken to said she's got a lot of positives going for her," Bolla added. "She's young, she was an athlete, so she's strong and so we're hoping that everything goes right."

Taylor, a former point guard, completed her eligibility in March and was one of just 15 players in UH history to score 1,000 points. She also ranked in the top 10 in eight career categories, including scoring, three-pointers, assists and steals.
