Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart, who started in a home game against the A's Wednesday night, was killed in a felony hit-and-run car accident in Fullerton, California, early Thursday morning, according to multiple reports.
The accident was cause by the driver of a minivan who ran a red light, which caused the Mitsubishi that Adenhart was riding in to hit a light pole, police said. In addition to the 22-year-old Adenhart, two other people died in the crash. One of the other people killed was also affiliated with the Angels organization, TMZ reports.
The driver of the minivan fled the scene but was later caught and charged with felony hit-and-run.
Adenhart struck out five batters in six scoreless innings Wednesday. The rookie righthander did make three starts for the Angels last year, posting a 1-0 record with a 9.00 ERA.
Adenhart was called up from AAA ball this season after injuries to Angels pitchers John Lackey, Ervin Santana and Kelvim Escobar.
Ditto.
I watched the kid last night--he would have had a great future
The driver of the minivan fled on foot, but police found him about a mile away and took him into custody on suspicion of hit-and-run
Prayers for the family and friends of all of the victims.
Gee. The driver of the minivan fled.
Hmmm. I wonder why?
RIP. May his family and friends find solace in God’s love.
Bummer. Prayers for his family, friends and team.
too bad he was probably one of “The Mas” Pelosi’s patriots (sarc)
My prayers are for them and their families. Horrible tragedy which occurs all too often. May God’s love and peace be with them.
But officer,I had to get these 35 workers in the van to
the meat packing plant by 7:00 A.M.
The Angels, for some reason have more active players killed over their history than other major league team during the same time frame, I believe. Just a matter of bad luck, I’d suppose.
The driver of the minivan fled.
Highly suspicious that the perp is unnamed.
If he is Amish it could be he didn’t want anyone to know he was driving
I pray that Jesus will help the family of the deceased ball player.
Hmmmm...This is what typically occurs when illegal aliens cause collisions...They just leave the scene, while people and their children are left screaming in agony.
The above scenario occurs daily in the southwest
I wonder why they didn't reveal the ID of the driver that caused this?
CNN is reporting now that the name of the driver who killed him is Andrew Thomas Gallo.
This is now being picked up by multiple news agencies, yet not one of them have revealed who the at fault driver was.
The three dead were in a gray Mitsubishi, which slammed into a light pole after the van struck it, Brower said.
Two people in the car died instantly and Adenhart died at the hospital a short while later.
A fourth occupant is in critical condition at UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange,
When legit joe or jane citizens are involved in a collision, the law is going to know exactly who the registered owner is if the driver flees ...Generally when a citizen flees the scene, the only thing they can come up with is, "My car was stolen".
The driver of this vehicle, is done.
I think that it's a pretty good bet, since:
1) It's SOP for illegals to flee the scene of a car accident on foot.
2) More damning, is the fact the article doesn't ID the offender.
I’ll bet the perp’s name is something like Paddy Schwartz. /s
"The driver of the van that apparently ran the red light, Andrew Thomas Gallo, 22, fled the scene, according to police. Gallo, of Riverside, was later arrested and charged with felony hit-and-run. The passenger in the van, Raymond Alexander Rivera, 21, was taken to Western Medical Center-Anaheim with minor injuries, according to Fullerton officer Laura Markoski.

It’s called ‘Illegal Alien Insurance’. Crash the ride? Run and Hide!

I'm hearing the driver was found drunk in nearby Anaheim.
Lost the bet
I have never understood why the penalty for killing someone while driving drunk is so light. The car is being used the same way a gun is.....
One of the vehicles, a gray Mitsubishi, slammed into a power pole, Brower said. Two of its passengers were dead at the scene, he said. The other two were transported to UC Irvine Medical Center, where a third later died. The remaining passenger was in critical condition, Brower said.
Murray said Adenhart underwent surgery and died at the hospital, but did not know if he died during or after the procedure.
A passenger in the minivan was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, Brower said. The third vehicle sustained minor damage, and its driver was unhurt, he said. Police did not identify any of the dead.
The minivan’s driver fled the scene and was later arrested, Brower said. Andrew Thomas Gallo, 22, of Riverside will face charges of manslaughter, felony driving under the influence and hit-and-run, he said.
liberal hypocrisy

I'm starting to wonder now if Andrew Thomas Gallo is truly his real name.
Hard to tell sometimes from the name only. Who would have thought Richard Reid was a radical muzzie just by his name?
An then Gov. Bill Richardson comes to mind . . .
But he is Hispanic.

I can't tell if he looks like a skin head or is just clean cut...:)

It would have been a waste even if she weren’t “totally gorgeous”.
Fascinating little film, but only as fiction. Sickening to think someone actually did it.
RIP.
“Hmmmm...This is what typically occurs when illegal aliens cause collisions...They just leave the scene, while people and their children are left screaming in agony.”
That’s what happened to me once. I was rear-ended and shoved into the car in front of me. I had three children under the age of 5 in my car and we couldn’t get the doors open. Both cars fled the scene, leaving me to crawl out of my car and pull my screaming toddlers out.
The insurance company told me they wouldn’t have believed my story except that there were witnesses to the double hit and run.
I wish nothing but torment upon this guy. He’s a useless piece of shit and deserves the death penalty after 10 of agonizing ass rape in prison. Because of him 3 young lives are gone.
9.0 ERA. Doesn’t look real good, but he probably pitched one inning, gave up one run.
