Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was involved in a car wreck near downtown today.
Details are few at the moment, but the crash included Newton’s car flipped over on a bridge and another involved, near the intersection of Church Street and I-277, close to Bank of America Stadium.
Dianne Gallagher of WCNC has a photograph of Newton being loaded into an ambulance, and Chris Littman of the Sporting News has a photo of Newton’s truck after it was flipped over, the top flattened.
Early reports said the quarterback was "conscious and smiling" as he was stretchered away.
