Default Angels' rookie right hander killed in car crash
Angels rookie right-hander Nick Adenhart died early Thursday morning in a car accident in Fullerton, Calif., a family member told television station WHAG, located in the pitcher's native Maryland.

Three people were killed and another was seriously injured in the accident, which involved three vehicles. Authorities are blaming the accident on a motorist who ran a red light with his van and then fled the scene. He was later captured and charged with felony hit-and-run.

An associate of Adenhart's confirmed the pitcher's death to the Los Angeles Times.

A gray Mistubishi, hit by the van, slammed into a light pole, the TV station reported. Two of the occupants in the Mitsubishi were declared dead at the scene and a third died just after 6 a.m. PT on Thursday.

A fourth occupant is at UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange in critical condition, said WHAG.

It was unclear if Adenhart was killed immediately or died after being transported from the scene. A passenger from the van was taken to Western Medical Center in Anaheim with minor injuries. A third vehicle, which was stopped in the intersection at the time of the accident, was also involved but the driver was seriously hurt.

Adenhart, 22, made his season debut against Oakland on Wednesday night, shutting out the A's for six innings in a game the Angels eventually lost, 6-3.

A 14th-round Draft choice in 2004, Adenhart made his Major League debut on May 1 last season and pitched in three games, going 1-0 in the three starts.

What a tragic accident. Sounds like this kid could have had a promising career in front of him.

I watched him pitch last night. I also read somewhere that Mike Sciosca said we could see an Ervin Santana-type breakout from Adenhart this season. Tragic news for MLB, the Angels, and especially the family of the young man.

Tough break for MLB and the Angels, but even tougher for his family to lose someone at such a young age, and in such a tragic way. I can't even begin to imagine what his family must be going through.

I saw that as well... I almost even went to pick him up on my fantasy roster after last night. You just don't expect things like this to happen. A shock for the MLB for sure... and I can't imagine how tough it must be for his family right now.

That's what I thought whenever Josh Hancock died. We had just sat behind his parents at an Ole Miss game a few months earlier.

Sad news.

Very sad situation. By all accounts, the guy was a wonderful player and person; and was looking at a breakout year. DUI takes at least 3 more young people before their time. Terrible.

Terrible. This is the 5th Angel to die in this kind of circumstance since 1972. Nick Adenhart was wearing a "Preston Gomez" patch on his uniform along with the whole Angels team in honor of his death last night. Ironically he was killed a mile away from the point Gomez was killed.

The driver, also 22, has had DUI charges before and on his court report from his previous arrests it stated that if he was involved in a DUI accident or something like fleeing for the scene he would be charged for murder.

Sad stuff. My regards go out to his family.
