RIP

Angels rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart was killed in a car accident this morning after making his first start of the season last night. He was only 22.

A damn shame.

Update: I should have mentioned this earlier, but the 20-year-old driver of the car, Courtney Stewart, and a passenger, Henry Pearson, 25, were also killed. Another passenger, John Wilhite, 24, is in the hospital.

Meanwhile, the driver of the minivan who struck their car, Andrew Gallo, was driving drunk and fled the scene of the accident. He had a prior DUI conviction and was driving with a suspended license. The scumbag only suffered minor injuries, and he's facing possible murder charges. I hope he rots in prison for the rest of his life.
