Adam Schein just said that he had arteries and nerves exposed, and is in critical condition. Tragic.

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

Damn, hopefully he pulls through this and recovers.

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

Very sad, I remember watching him pitch in the College World Series just last year; he would've been a high pick in the MLB draft and a was pretty good FS @ LSU.
Terrible news

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

wow that accident is not pretty. never want to hear this kind of news. here is to his speedy recovery.

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

My prayers go out to him & everyone involved

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

man...horrible news. Hope he manages to pull through

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

ESPN & NFL Network are reporting that doctors are trying to save his left leg.

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

Wow that is terrible news for him.

Can't even tell what kind of truck he was driving.

When did this accident occur after a long night out or getting the morning paper.

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

Happened at 6:15 this morning. Looks like he ran into a pole, can't imagine how fast he must have been going for that type of damage.

If the speaker in your drivers side door ends up in the engine compartment that is a bad accident.

God bless him and a quick recovery.

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

No details released as to the possible cause of the crash? Do hope he has a speedy recovery. Vehicles are built now days to be economic, not so much when it comes to crashes. My prayers be with him and his family.

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

WOW that car is BAD, very bad. Wish him the best of luck.

No kidding. That looks terrible. I hope the kid makes it ok. I heard his leg is in really bad shape, and they may have to amputate his foot. That's what one of my friend's told me anyway.

My prayers are with Chad Jones.

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

looks like they had to use the jaws of life to cut the sidebar of the door to get him out. was he alone in the car?

it looks like the garden district since the trolley car is going down the center of the road. this is a pretty confusing lil area to drive with travel lanes on both sides of the trolley cars so cars have to watch for other cars as well as trolleys when you are crossing or turning onto the street.

when we got off the trolley, a lady who was getting off too almost got blasted by a car. i mean, she was a couple feet away from me, car missed her by an inch if that.

dang that is horrible that he might lose his foot or leg. man that is just terrible.

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

So terrible.

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

OTM I was thinking the same thing, the car looks bad still in the first picture, but much worse in the second, they definitely used it.

2 others had minor injuries I believe

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

Very sad , I hope the young man makes a full recovery .

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

Looks like they saved his leg, not sure about his career though.

He's an NFL player, so it's always possible he had a speaker installed there.


Seriously, that's not likely and it's a very bad situation for him...likely a career ender. Hate to see anyone go through this, even a rival's player. Football is no longer important when it comes to a son/father/fellow human being's life.

I feel really guilty right now. Guilty for laughing my ass off at your first comment granted the situation. Damn, I can't wipe this smile off of my face.

That said, the guy is lucky to come out of that utter mess of a car alive. He shouldnt be sad, he should be down right exstatic that his life is not over. Its a plum miracle he isnt dead.

Sounds like the Giants are handling it with class. Good to hear.

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

Thats not a speaker its his head light as they have large round head lights. Glade to hear he is doing OK.

Re: Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition
 

Nope it is a speaker. But if you look very close you can see that the hing on the door is curved around to inside the engine compartment. The rest of the door was removed with the jaws of life. Those HID Head Lights are toast some where in front of the car.

The speaker also may have been pushed there by the rescue teams when extracting Chad. Good to read the article and I am glad that this accident wasn't the result of Drunk Driving or anything.

Kudos for the way the Giants and the NFL are helping out the family as well as Mr. Jones.

from the espn article.

"Jones lost control of his Range Rover reportedly because he was trying to get off streetcar tracks on the road. Jones was cited with careless operation of a vehicle and police are still investigating the accident."

I only spent a half day walking around the garden district but when you see the operation of the antique trolley cars running down the center of two lanes of traffic, about a half mile from bourbon street, accidents are going to happen.

thats great that they didnt have to amputate his foot. real glad to hear his sprits are high. im not a religous person but i do believe in positive vibrations. being positive helps healing.

On the simple fact I hate to agree with 1st; I agree it is a speaker.
