fuck his truck rolled over? man that is scary looking

 

[Greg]

damn, that's rough

hope it's nothing serious

 

[Fox318]

hopfully just precaution, or more so, hopefully it wasn't another case of a player on drugs/drinking driving

They don't always lock people on a stretcher. He had to have looked pretty bad.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

For Dutch

Look at that innocent smile.

 

[ShaneB]

Yikes, that is some scary stuff. Hope he's alright.

 

[Farooq]

That Cam news is fucked up. Hope he is alright.

 

[Eleuin]

hope cam is okay :\

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

ESPN not even saying anything about Cam Newton. How lame is this network?

 

[Bowser]

That...does not look good.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Wow damn, hope Cam is alright. How the duck did that happen.

 

[manfestival]

wow thats bad, moreso for the passenger than the driver but still. seatbelts are a key factor here

 

[brentech]

They don't always lock people on a stretcher. He had to have looked pretty bad.

Knowing who it is, they might being taking every precaution available. You never know.

A car crashed and overturned on the Church Street bridge over I-277 about 12:30 p.m. and ambulances are on the scene. A second car involved in the crash is also in the road, near Hill Street.

 

[jello44]

Best of luck to Cam.

Well that's a bit reassuring for now.

The Jets-Titans game will be the Tank Bowl.

Titans get the Jags next week for Thursday Night Tankoff!

 

[RellyRell28]

I just got on break at work and saw that Johnny has been freed

 

[Zeke]

Whoa those pics are fucked up. Hopefully it isn't as serious as it looks.

 

[Bowser]

edit: fake details

Other car:

Kami Mattioli ‏@kmattio 2m2 minutes ago
CMFD says one passenger in each vehicle. Witness says other car pulled out in front of Cam. Says Cam's truck car "flipped at least 3 times."

 

[Crisco]

Wow. Honestly, he should be ok, modern safety features are designed to handle roll overs at pretty insane speeds. That's a big car too, and it looks like the side air bags deployed. Not gonna worry till I hear more.

 

[Afrikan]

Sketchy-ish details, not confirmed:

That doesn't look like a BMW to me. :/

 

[zychi]

Hopefully he is fine, but the aftershock could hurt him on the field. Soreness + neck soreness isn't good for a QB

 

[Beerman462]

For Dutch

----------------------------------------------------

Damn Cams truck. Hope he's ok. Flipped three time shit

 

[Fox318]

After 60 drivers should be tested for competence every 5 years and at 75 every 2 years.

Fuck that, make EVERYONE re take the test every 5 years.

CMPD officer just confirmed to me Newton was driving. Said he was able to communicate

Mark Becker ‏@MarkBeckerWSOC9 3m3 minutes ago
Witness says Newton's truck flipped four times. Newton put on a stretcher.

 

[Enron]

It looks like a Buick.

I picked up Rams D for my playoff game. I feel it is a wise move.

Last 2 weeks, Rams D gave me massive points

 

[eznark]

The accident involved a 2012 BMW driven by Cam Newton and a 76 year old female driver in a 2010 Audi. The driver of the Audi was issued a citation for failing to stop at a red light before striking the vehicle driven by Cam Newton at a high rate of speed.

Wait so that truck wasn't part of the accident?

 

[Afrikan]

It looks like a Buick.

Meant Cam's truck. In that article it says he drove a 2012 BMW.

 

[Tamanon]

Hope he's alright. As long as he was strapped in, he should probably be fine, since flipping will only deal that much damage if he wasn't.

 

[Bowser]

Those details are fake btw (the old driver, BMW truck, etc) - pre-fab story site

 

[Fox318]

Fuck that, make EVERYONE re take the test every 5 years.

I'd be fine with that but it will never happen.

As long as older people control the vote it will never happen.

Those details are fake btw (the old driver, BMW truck, etc) - pre-fab story site

Plus that's a Buick

Damn! Hopefully he's ok. Finally started to figure it out this year, poor guy

 

[Afrikan]

Yeah I drilled it into my lil brother's head to put on his seat belt in any car.

Anyone who gets in my car has to put on a seat belt or they gotta get out.

Still folks out there who don't where seat belts...they don't understand it's not the only your driver you have to worry about.

Seems like Cam is ok.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Yeah hopefully he'll be okay and he can recover from this.

Jesus christ, poor dude. What a year for him.

Seems like he had to be wearing a seat belt, otherwise they'd be taking him away on multiple stretchers :/

I never understand people who don't wear seatbelts

 

[Suite Pee]

"Bae" is a Danish word for "poop," isn't it?

Stay healthy, Cam. Need you in there to keep the South hilarious.

 

[ShaneB]

Agreed, fucking baffling.

 

[Afrikan]

I never understand people who don't wear seatbelts

"I trust your driving"

"Only going a few blocks"

"I'm tired and I want to lay down. Don't worry"

 

[njean777]

Always liked Cam, hope he can recover and be fine.

Yikes. Glad the crash wasn't more serious.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD

 

[Bowser]

In a fucking car wreck and the dude is still smiling. Unreal.

 

[HoosTrax]

Bro truck with excessive non-functional lift. Flipped. Shocking.
