No word on the extent of the injuries.

Situation Updating.

The Charlotte Observer is reporting that Panthers QB Cam Newton was injured in a two-car crash in the Uptown area of Charlotte today.

Here's a photo from Observer reporter Jonathan Jones.

Yikes. Hope he's okay.

 

[Ray Wonder]

Whhat the fuck? Damn, I hope he's ok too.

 

[overcast]

Oh fuck. I hope he's okay, that looks bad.

 

[DrFunk]

Yeesh..hope he's ok. Rollover accidents are no joke, speaking from experience..

[J@hranimo]

Holy shit!

Hope he's good

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

That looks pretty bad. Hope cam is okay.

re: Cam. RT @DianneG: An officer on scene said he thought everyone would be ok… But could not elaborate be on extent of injuries if any

 

[Data West]

Went to school with Cam. Hope he's ok, guy has a really bright future.

 

[BigFwoosh]

So weird, I'm going to my first Panthers game this weekend. Hope he makes it out of this okay.

 

[Various Artists]

Nuts. Hope he's ok.

 

[JaseMath]

Hope he's okay.

In an unrelated dream, I had a dream Tim Tebow played for the Panthers.

 

[SliceSabre]

Oh Damn.

Hope he's gonna be okay.

That's good. I guess I can joke about Cam having problems with turnovers now.

 

[kirblar]

Hopefully everyone's alright and they give him the time he needs rather than rush him back.

 

[CB3]

 

[TheAbsolution]

He looks alright. Hope the injuries of all aren't too bad.

 

[SneakySneaks]

He looks hurt, but not career ending. The Panthers season was basically over (NFC S is so shit they still somehow have a shot) so hopefully we'll see him back before pre-season next year.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Hopefully going to the hospital was just precautionary.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

His vehicle flipped 4 times evidently. Probably wearing his seat belt if it's not life-threatening, thank god.

 

[OricWindstar]

Oh man, I lived in Auburn while he was there and he always seemed like a really cool, genuine guy. Really hope he's okay.

 

[Mesousa]

Went to school with Cam. Hope he's ok, guy has a really bright future.

Westlake 07 alum?

We may know each other....

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Looks like he's clutching his thigh. He certainly looks hurt but it's hopefully not serious. Even if he's out for the year Anderson can finish up the season.

 

[studyguy]

Huge truck to roll over in, must have been something serious. Damn.

 

[Faiz]

Ouch... Hope he's ok. I didn't even know who he was till people started mistakenly tagging me in twitter thinking it was his handle. I guess I should expect some get well wishes for him soon.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Looking at the roof of the truck I'm glad nobody was riding shotgun. Sheesh.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Looks like he's okay from the pictures (okay as in not life threatening). He might be done for the season but there should be plenty of time for him to get better for next year.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Sounds like good news:

WBTV News @WBTV_News · 17s 17 seconds ago
#BREAKING RT @SteveCrumpWBTV: CMPD source says no injuries to Cam Newton. He didn't want to be transported. Taken to hospital as precaution.

May want to update the OP title once this is confirmed.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Twitter said a car pulled out in front of him and he flipped multiple (3+) times.

Exactly how fast was either of them going? Uptown Charlotte isn't exactly a place for speed, though from appearances, this was near or on a bridge on the perimeter of downtown, basically near the Panthers' stadium.

 

[bryehn]

He was seen smiling and they got him on a stretcher out of there.

Everyone bet on the Bucs this week!

Spoiler

Don't do this.

Looks like he's not wasting any time and is getting those sit ups in.

 

[WarMacheen]

I hope he's ok, but seriously


Why the cheap drop in bed liner in his truck?

 

[Raistlin]

I love how no one is concerned enough to even ask whether anyone else was hurt


Never change celeb fanboys

That truck looks like it was lifted, so any sudden turn would likely increase the chance of a rollover.

Yep, exactly. The suspension was built for off-roading, which a lot of people think look cool, but results in absolutely useless road handling and feel. Ask it to do something in an emergency situation and you're *fucked*. I know that from personal experience! lol

Hope he's ok. I'm no Carolina fan and I give Cam shit sometimes but I like the guy.

 

[crimzonflame]

Thank God hes ok.

We wouldn't know about the incident if Can wasn't in it, though. And they said pretty quickly everybody would likely be fine

 

[Wellscha]

Glad he's ok.

Looks like it's another drive that ended in a turnover.

Is the cop checking Cam's phone to see if he was texting while driving?
