U.S. Mens National Team soccer player Charlie Davies was involved in a serious auto accident in Washington that left a SUV split in half. There aren’t a lot of details out on the event yet, but this is what I have found.
Details are limited at this time, but Steven Goff is reporting on Twitter that Sochaux and US national team striker Charlie Davies has been involved in a serious automobile accident and is currently in surgery.
U.S. Park Police are investigating a fatal car crash southbound on the George Washington Parkway at Boundary Channel Drive, just south of the Memorial Bridge, that broke an SUV in half.
The accident happened at approximately 3:15 a.m. Tuesday. Police spokesman Sgt. David Schlosser told News4 that it looks like the SUV struck the metal railing of the bridge that carries the parkway over Boundary Channel Drive.
Ashley J. Roberta, 22, of Phoenix, Md., died on the scene, said Schlosser, who added that he did not have further information on the two survivors in the crash, who were brought to the Washington Hospital Center MedStar Unit in serious condition.
Charlie Davies, a starter for the U.S. national soccer team, underwent several hours of surgery for non-life threatening injuries suffered in a fatal auto accident early Tuesday on the George Washington Memorial Parkway, the U.S. Soccer Federation said.
Details of the surgery were not made available, but a USSF spokesman said the injuries were "possibly" career-threatening.
