One person was arrested in connection with the three-vehicle accident that occurred about 12:23 a.m. Thursday in Fullerton, south of Los Angeles. Witnesses say a red minivan ran a red light and struck two vehicles at a Fullerton intersection, police Lt. Craig Brower told CNN.

One of the vehicles, a gray Mitsubishi, slammed into a power pole, Brower said. Two of its passengers were dead at the scene, he said. The other two were transported to UC Irvine Medical Center.

Murray said Adenhart underwent surgery and died at the hospital, but did not know if he died during or after the procedure. Brower said the remaining passenger was in critical condition.

You might say Nick Adenhart has gone from the California Angels to the Angels. (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/baseball/mlb/04/09/adenhart.killed/index.html?cnn=yes)

Turns out the minivan driver was drunk and already had a suspended license. :mad:

Adenhart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenhart) was 22, just made his very first start as a pitcher, had everything ahead of him then snuffed out just hours later...you can figure where my outrage is going on this one.

Let's not lump all red light runners with this Drunk Driver. ;)

Let's not lump all red light runners with this Drunk Driver. ;)The suspect could get charged with manslaughter - even murder.

If they EVER let this loser drive again... :mad:

Turns out it was not Adenhart's only game, but it was a very, very short MLB career. :(
