NFL star Cam Newton was involved in a serious car crash in Charlotte, North Carolina earlier today.
The Carolina Panther Quarterback’s vehicle was driving across a bridge when it collided with a sedan, resulting in Newton’s truck allegedly flipping over three times.
TMZ reports:
Cam was seen on his back on the side of the bridge where the accident took place … grimacing in pain. Several people were seen tending to the 25-year-old QB.
We’re told Cam kept trying to stand up after the accident … but couldn’t … and eventually relented and waited for help to arrive.
Multiple emergency vehicles raced to the scene. Cam reportedly told paramedics he did NOT wanted to be transported to the hospital … but eventually gave in.
There’s no word on the severity of Cam’s injuries, but he was seen sporting a smile while talking to police at the crash site. He was later carried away on a stretcher into an ambulance and is now at a nearby hospital.
