Nick Adenhart ??

A lot of rumors floating around that he was killed in a car accident on way home after ballgame last night.

Its early and there is nothing on google yet, but my brother knows some people and thats what he is hearing.

I really hope its not true. The kid has a great future.

Wow I really hope that isn't true

It looks like it was him and he did not make it.

Tragic.

R.I.P


Not that it matters much but I would imagine that the angels game tonight will be cancelled.

Cops say someone driving a minivan blew through a red light, causing the Mitsubishi that Adenhart was riding in to hit a light pole. Three people were killed in the crash, including Nick.

Cops say the person driving the van fled the scene -- but was later caught and charged with felony hit-and-run. The suspect is currently being treated for injuries in a local hospital.

We're told one of the other men killed in the crash was also affiliated with the Angels organization.

Nick was 22-years-old.

I always find it so bizzare that in most cases the person who causes the accident lives while killing the other people in the car.

such a pity; had his whole career and life in front of him and he had to be feeling great after pitching 6 shutout innings.

JUST TALKED TO A BUDDY WHO PITCHES FOR THE ANGELS, AND THERE IS NO OTHER INFO ON THE OTHER PERSON THAT WAS WITH THE ANGELS. IT WAS A MAN AND A WOMAN.

ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY TO A GREAT GUY WITH A LOT OF UPSIDE IN BASEBALL. PRAYERS TO HIS FAMILY AND THE ANGELS.
