Former New York Jets head coach, Rex Ryan, has surrendered himself for his alleged involvement in a pedestrian crash in Tennessee.
The incident occurred Thursday, Nov. 5, shortly before midnight, when two people were crossing Broadway from 4th Avenue in Nashville.
According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, the individuals had a walk sign when a pickup truck turned right, ran over both victims’ feet and made contact with one person’s legs.
The truck, driven by Ryan, kept going, the pedestrians said, before coming to a stop at a red light at Representative John Lewis Way and they waved him down.
The 63-year-old ex-NFL coach got out his vehicle to argue with the pair and then drove away, police say.
Ryan is charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of failure to give information/render aid, and two counts of failure to obey a traffic control signal. His bond was set at $6,000.
