Longhorns Linebacker Sergio Kindle Out-Idiots Vince Young
Vince Young may not be the dumbest, most self-destructive Texas Longhorns football player of all-time after all. ESPN.com has the scoop on linebacker Sergio Kindle’s recent automotive misadventure:
Texas Longhorns linebacker Sergio Kindle ran his car into an Austin, Texas, apartment and left the scene of the accident last week, according to his attorney.
Kindle, a senior who was a first-team All-Big 12 pick last season, hit his head during the wreck and suffered a concussion when he ran off the street and into a West Campus residence early Wednesday morning, the Austin American-Statesman has reported.
“He knew he was hurt at the time and that he needed to go home and go to bed,” Brian Roark, Kindle’s lawyer, told the newspaper.
Roark said the incident occurred at 2:50 a.m. ET on Wednesday and that Kindle was probably text messaging before the accident, the American-Statesman reported.
According to witnesses, Kindle and several occupants got out of the car and pushed it out of the residence and down the road before abandoning it, police said.
Roark said Kindle contacted the apartment’s management Thursday when he woke up, according to the report. Police said the accident was under investigation and no charges had been filed.
Texas law doesn’t appear to cover leaving the scene of accidents resulting in damage to buildings.
Does Texas law cover outrageously irresponsible behavior?
Sergio Kindle is lucky he’s not a 70-year-old grandmother, or he might’ve gotten zapped with a taser for his troubles.
