Chad Jones, NYG Rookie, in critical condition

[Longtimefan]

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.

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.

range rover maybe? not sure

sucks.. gotta be more careful though.. exposed nerves and stuff yuck

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.

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.

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.

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.

So terrible.

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.

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

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