Rex Ryan turns himself in after alleged Nashville hit-and-run injured 2
pedestrians, police say
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) --- Former NFL coach Rex Ryan turned himself in Wednesday
for allegedly hitting pedestrians with his car in Nashville and leaving the
scene, police said.
Two pedestrians had the right of way crossing a main street in downtown
Nashville last week when Ryan allegedly turned at a red light, running over the
victims' feet, Nashville police said Wednesday.
Ryan was charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two
counts of failure to give information or render aid and two counts of failure
to obey a traffic control signal, according to court records, which did not
identify an attorney for Ryan. All are misdemeanors. Ryan is scheduled to
appear in court next month.
Ryan is a former head coach of the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets, leading the
Jets to the AFC Championship Game in consecutive years after the 2009 and 2010
seasons. His father, the late Buddy Ryan, was an NFL coaching legend who
famously coordinated the 1985 Chicago Bears defense that was one of the best in
history.
Since leaving coaching, Ryan is best known for his work at ESPN as one of the
analysts on the network's NFL pregame show.
A phone number believed to be Ryan's had an automatic outgoing message, and a
message could not be left.
