Angels rookie right-hander Nick Adenhart died early Thursday morning in a car accident in Fullerton, Calif., an associate of the pitcher told the Los Angeles Times. Three people were killed and another was seriously injured in the accident, which involved three vehicles. Authorities are blaming the accident on a motorist who ran a red light with his van and then fled the scene. He was later captured and charged with felony hit-and-run. An Angels employee, reached by telephone, said that the team was preparing a news release and that its media relations department was not taking any calls at that time. The news of Adenhart's death was first reported by Maryland television station WHAG, which cited a family member as its source. A gray Mistubishi, hit by the van, slammed into a light pole, the TV station reported. Two of the occupants in the Mitsubishi were declared dead at the scene and a third died just after 6 a.m. PT on Thursday. A fourth occupant is at University of California Irvine Medical Center in Orange in critical condition, said WHAG. It was unclear if Adenhart was killed immediately or died after being transported from the scene. A passenger from the van was taken to Western Medical Center in Anaheim with minor injuries. A third vehicle, which was stopped in the intersection at the time of the accident, was also involved but the driver was not seriously hurt. Adenhart, 22, made his season debut against Oakland on Wednesday night, shutting out the A's for six innings in a game the Angels eventually lost, 6-3. A 14th-round Draft choice in 2004, Adenhart made his Major League debut on May 1 last season and pitched in three games, going 1-0 in the three starts. |

Sad story, and huge blow to the Angels. He was one of their top pitching prospects. The game tonight has been canceled too. |
