Car Crash



Two prominent College Football players are recovering after separate traffic accidents in the past week. Texas linebacker Sergio Kindle allegedly fled the scene after crashing his car into an Austin apartment last week. Kindle and several passengers pushed the car out of the building and back onto the road before abandoning it.

Unfortunately for him, Kindle is no stranger to car accidents. In 2007, he was suspended for three games after a DWI. This time, however, he was thought to be text messaging prior to his run-in with the apartment building.

Kindle suffered a concussion and damages worth about $8,700 to the exterior wall of the apartment building as a result of the accident.

Similarly, North Carolina State linebacker Nate Irving is recovering from surgery to repair a collapsed lung which was inflicted after he ran his car into a tree early Sunday morning. Irving reportedly fell asleep at the wheel, running his car off of Interstate 40 in Johnston County, NC. He also suffered a broken leg and it is uncertain whether he’ll play for NC State this season.

Nate has been charged with careless and reckless driving; proving once again, drinking and driving isn’t the only combination that will kill you behind the wheel.

Watch out Sergio and Nate, because the popo are on your tail!
