(CBS) O.J. Simpson's girlfriend, who had been hospitalized in February after a fall, was back in the hospital, this time with two broken legs and other serious injuries, CBS4 in Miami reported.

Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Pat Santangelo said Christie Prody was injured early Saturday morning on the Don Shula Expressway near Miller Drive after she pulled over to an emergency lane because she had two flat tires on her 2-door Mitsubishi.

Police say she rode on the flat tires for quite a distance because one of the tires was completely shredded and the other had come off the rim completely.

For an unknown reason, Prody, 32, got out of her car and tried to cross the highway. Santangelo says she nearly made it across but about two thirds of the way, she was hit by an oncoming car. Her head and arms went through that car's windshield and she landed inside the vehicle with her legs sticking out. The driver stopped and called 911 immediately.

She was airlifted to Ryder Trauma Center at Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital where Santangelo says she was still being treated Wednesday for broken legs and other serious injuries.

Santangelo says Prody was cited for "being a pedestrian on an expressway" which is against the law.

Troopers found an empty bottle of Smirnoff vodka on her front seat. While toxicology reports are not back, police say she won't be charged with DUI because she was not at the wheel of the vehicle when the crash occurred.

A responding officer also found her pet dog, a Shitzu, in the vehicle after the crash. The dog was taken to a safe shelter until her family could pick it up.

In February, Prody was hospitalized with a severe head injury after she slipped and fell at a Miami gas station.

Is OJ lookin’ for the real culprit?...............

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

Hm. Hit by a Carve-ette maybe?

[MinnesotaLibertarian]

Mitsubishi? Damn, OJ must be pretty broke these days...

[llevrok]

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Drunk and trying to leave the car....classic.

Dating OJ is BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD LUCK!!!

[Alright_on_the_LeftCoast]

[windsorknot]

Warning: Dating O.J. Simpson could be hazardous to your health.

I think we found the reason.

[advertising guy]

if she drank the whole bottle, she wont know she did a header into a car windshield til next week

[mrmargaritaville]

no white bronco.

[edpc]

Fortunately, her "airbags" deployed and saved her from more serious injury.

[KJC1]

She has a dog? This is the selfish hag who let her cat starve to death in her apartment while she was out getting her jollies with OJ. I hope the dog finds a good home. I can’t say I really care what happens to OJ’s girlfriend.

[bmwcyle]

[the_devils_advocate_666]

Luckily she comes equipped with air bags.

[retrokitten]

Honestly, why would anyone date OJ? It’s just proof that for every idiot in the world, there is someone stupider who wants to date them.

[the_devils_advocate_666]

Damn, beat me by 27 seconds.

her radio earpiece must have fallen out I'm sure the crew was telling her to pit next lap :-)

[Holicheese]

I guess she just wants to thrill f*** a multiple murderer!
It comes with the territory.

While toxicology reports are not back, police say she won't be charged with DUI because she was not at the wheel of the vehicle when the crash occurred.

WTF???

[NCBraveheart]

He is searching every strip club,casino and gold course on earth!

[bill1952]

Oh no!

Does this mean that O - the knife - J has to take time off of searching for Nichole’s killer??

[Lee Heggy123]

Very bad karma to be hooked up with OJ.

[Long Island Pete]

She was not in the car. She became part of the car.

[edpc]

Yeah, that one was a gimme......I’m suprised it took 12 posts.

[AlexW]

Whatever pea sized brain she has is trapped in those overgrown watermelons.
Such a poor girl.

[NMR Guy]

How dumb do you have to be to think it’s a good idea to be “O.J. Simpson’s girlfriend”?

[synbad600]

What’s with the tan lines? If she’s wearing a top that small, why even bother?

[SoothSayerONETIME]

was it a white bronco?

LOL

[NormsRevenge]

She sure has had a run of bad luck, concidence?

Since she hooked up with OJ, she is in the news a lot more for physical reason than any other,, quite a run.

[dalebert]

riding on 2 rims sounds like she was running from someone. odds of getting 2 flats at one time ????

[Tennessee_Bob]

any white broncos in the vicinity????

Just this slow, white one...

How about PUBLIC INTOXICATION?

And how many drivers who crashed (and were only seen after the car had STOPPED were charged with intoxication?).

Shouldn't an open container be enough to levy a charge?

[Main Street]

1. Her boyfriend butchers his ex-wife and another man.

2. "In February, Prody was hospitalized with a severe head injury after she slipped and fell at a Miami gas station."

3. "Her head and arms went through that car's windshield and she landed inside the vehicle with her legs sticking out."

Ummm...I think she needs to do some serious rethinking about her life choices.

[Tijeras_Slim]

odds of getting 2 flats at one time ????

If you're drunk and hit a couple curbs, pretty good.

[Riverman94610]

OJ’s defintion of a woman-”A life support system for a vagina”

[rjsimmon]

Does anyone else notice her resemblance to Nicole Brown?

[retrokitten]

Oh yeah. He’s got a “type” for sure.

[gibsosa]

wow, she kinda looks like Nicole....

[rockrr]

"Police say she rode on the flat tires for quite a distance because one of the tires was completely shredded and the other had come off the rim completely."

Why...it almost sounds like she was running from someone...;'}

[gibsosa]

great minds think alike!

[Southerngl]

Doesn’t she look a little creepily like Nicole Brown Simpson?

[Wally_Kalbacken]

From the neck down or the neck up?

If he ever extricates himself from Nevada, she may get a ghetto tracheotomy like Nicole did. Me? I’m hoping he gets beaten to death in prison.

[PISANO]

Honestly, why would anyone date OJ? It’s just proof that for every idiot in the world, there is someone stupider who wants to date them

Or as the old adage says, "There is a TOILET SEAT for EVERY A$$HOLE!!

[rockinqsranch]

Wondering if she’s a poster at DU with the handle “Dumb Luck”.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

That was my reaction back in (1994?). “Police are chasing a slow moving white Bronco.”

“Tell Elway to get off the freeway!”

[xJones]

Honestly, why would anyone date OJ? It’s just proof that for every idiot in the world, there is someone stupider who wants to date theml

It's kind of like all those female penpals that write love letters to murderers on prison death rows. They must know somehow that the guys are no darn good, but they want to love them anyway.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

I didn’t even notice she had a face. Hmph, whoda thunk.

O.J.'s Girlfriend Hit By Car, Badly Hurt

Al Cowlings could not be reached for comment.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

“I’m hoping he gets beaten to death in prison.”

Never happen. 95% of the prison population thinks that OJ was setup by whitey.
