Charlie Davies Injured In A Car Crash: Update


I found this article with pictures of the vehicle on NBC Washington that identifies the deceased as 22 year old, Ashley J. Roberta. Our prayers go out to her family and friends.


I just saw the following article on Soccernet:

Charlie Davies, a striker for the United States national soccer team, was involved in a one-car accident early Tuesday in suburban Washington, D.C. in which another person was killed, a U.S. Soccer Federation spokeman said.

Davies was in surgery Tuesday afternoon and in stable condition, U.S. Soccer spokesman Neil Buethe said. The extent of his injuries were unknown, but Buethe said they were not life-threatening.

It is not known whether Davies was the driver or a passenger in the car.

Three people were inside the car when it crashed into a metal guardrail along the George Washington Memorial Parkway at about 3:15 a.m. ET on Tuesday, U.S. Park Police spokesman David Schlosser said, according to The Washington Post.

One of the three occupants was pronounced dead and the two others were taken to a hospital with serious injuries, the newspaper reported.

"The car was pretty much split in half," Schlosser said, according to the report.

Schlosser said the identity of the person who was killed would be made public once family members were notified, according to the report.
