Nick Adenhart killed in car crash

Perez Hilton tweeted the news at about 11:00 AM ET that last night's LAA starting pitch Nick Adenhart died this morning in a car accident in Fullerton, California. A family member confirmed the story. Three people were killed and another person was seriously injured.

Authorities are blaming the three-vehicle accident on a motorist in a mini-van who ran a red light at East Orangethorpe Avenue and South Lemon Street.

Authorities say the driver of the van fled the scene, was later captured and charged with felony hit-and-run.

For some reason TMZ also has the story, and they are reporting one of the other men killed in the crash was also affiliated with the Angels. I'll add more information as it comes in. Edit: Huff Post link.
