Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Nick Adenhart was involved and killed in a car accident earlier this morning. Adenhart drove a Mitsubishi that was hit by someone driving a minivan, who blew through a red light and fled on foot. The suspect was later caught by the cops and charged with felony hit and run, according to TMZ.

Unfortunately three people were killed in the crash: an unknown man, a woman and Adenhart, who ironically had just pitched his last game a couple of hours before the tragic accident.

The 22 year-old promising pitcher had given an amazing performance last night that was praised by sportswriters and described as a “brilliant effort by a 22-year-old right-hander making his fourth Major League start”.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family!
