Nick Adenhart Killed in Hit & Run

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Nick Adenhart was killed in a hit & run accident after the game last night.

The accident happened in Fullerton, only hours after Adenhart had pitched a game.

Nick was the passenger in a Mitsubishi Eclipse when a minivan came screaming through an intersection, hitting Nick’s vehicle and causing it to hit a pole. Three people were killed. At least two of them were involved with the Angels ball club.

The driver of the minivan fled the scene but was later apprehended. That person is being treated for injuries at a local hospital and will be charged with felony hit and run.

Nick was only 22.

UPDATES:

The driver of the minivan has been identified as Andrew Gallo. Gallo fled the scene after the accident and was driving on a suspended license – due to another past DUI!

The driver of the Mitsubishi was 20-year-old Courtney Stewart. She was a student at Cal State Fullerton.

One survivor, Jon Wilhite, a former baseball player at Cal State Fullerton, is in critical condition at the UC Irvine Medical Center.
