Washington, D.C. (My Sportsbook) - U.S. forward Charlie Davies was injured in a deadly one-car accident Tuesday morning, although his condition is not life- threatening. The accident happened just outside Washington, D.C., and Davies was in surgery Tuesday afternoon and in stable condition. No other U.S. players were in the car, which "was pretty much split in half," U.S. Park Police spokesman David Schlosser told the Washington Post. "Obviously, as a team we were saddened to learn this news," U.S. coach Bob Bradley said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Charlie and his family, as well as the people in the car and the families of the others involved. "As a team, we are relying on each other in a moment that has for sure hit us all hard." It is unknown whether Davies was the driver or a passenger in the car, which crashed into a metal guardrail. One of the three occupants was pronounced dead and two others sustained serious injuries. The U.S., which clinched a berth in the 2010 World Cup on Saturday with a 3-2 win at Honduras, plays a World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica on Wednesday in Washington, D.C. |
