The former Brisbane Lions star was left fighting for his life after he had been crushed by an excavator.
7News claimed the 44-year-old father of three was ‘driving the digger’ before it rolled over, with Shattock becoming trapped under the machinery. Emergency services had used a hydraulic rescue tool to free him from the digger before Shattock was taken to Gold Coast University Hospital in a critical condition.
His family have broken their silence on the incident, releasing a statement on Christmas Day via the Labrador Football Club, to thank those who have sent messages of support to the former Brisbane and Port Adelaide player.
