Williamsport High School graduate Nick Adenhart, a pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels, died early this morning in a car accident in Fullerton, California, according to a family member.

Three people were killed in the crash and another person was seriously injured.

Authorities are blaming the three-vehicle accident on a motorist in a mini-van who ran a red light at East Orangethorpe Avenue and South Lemon Street.

KTLA is reporting a second victim in the crash is somehow connected with the Angels, they didnt specify if that person was among the other two deceased or the two injured.

the two others killed were also affliated with the Angels in some manner.

Are you sure. I just read that they weren't affiliated with the Angels.

This is terrible news. The other driver fled the scene, but was later captured, what a scumbag.

The Los Angeles Angels’ Thursday night game has been postponed following the death of rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart.

Manager Mike Scioscia says the team will get together, however.

The 22-year-old Adenhart was a passenger in a car that police say was struck by a motorist who ran a red light. Two other people in the car also died and another was injured. Adenhart had started for Los Angeles just a few hours earlier.

The Angels had been scheduled to play Oakland Thursday night.

the news reports were apparently wrong, but yes the Angels are saying the other two were NOT connected with the team.
