Angels' pitcher dies in car accident

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart reportedly died after being involved in a car accident a few hours after pitching in Wednesday's game against Oakland.

According to the Los Angeles Times, three people were killed in a crash in Fullerton, California when a driver ran a red light. The paper cited an associate of Adenhart as saying the 22-year-old rookie pitcher was among the three.

Adenhart started Wednesday's game against the Athletics and did not receive a decision in the 6-4 loss, allowing seven hits in six scoreless innings.

The paper said witnesses told police that the driver of a red minivan ran a red light and hit a silver Mitsubishi with four passengers. Two people from the Mitsubishi were killed at the scene and the other two were transported to a hospital, where one was later pronounced dead.
