ESPN is reporting Angels rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart was killed in a car accident early this morning. Adenhart pitched on Wednesday night logging six scoreless innings while giving up seven hits and striking out five. It's never easy to hear about a death in any situation, especially when promising young people like Adenhart are involved.
What really irks me is that this entire accident was completely preventable [as most are]. But the fact that a minivan ran through a red light, hit a Mitsubishi, and then the driver FLED from the scene really pisses me off. Thankfully the police were able to catch the driver and this low-level scum will get the punishment he deserves.
This does not take away from the loss of Adenhart's friends and family though. My thoughts are with you all.

*Update: This story was changed from its original version because I had used the word "him" to describe the driver when there is no information on whether they are male or female.
