Ex-NFL Star Junior Seau Drives Off Cliff After Being Arrested


Ex-NFL Star Junior Seau Drives Off Cliff After Being Arrested

http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2010/10/18/legendary-nfl-linebacker-junior-seau-drives-cliff-arrested/

Former NFL linebacker Junior Seau drove his SUV off a cliff in Carlsbad, Calif., on Monday, just hours after being arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, KGTV reported.

Seau, 41, was reportedly released from a San Diego detention facility a little more than an hour after being arrested at approximately 2:00am local time. According to KGTV, the incident involved his live-in girlfriend.

After being released from custody, Seau then drove his SUV off a cliff in Carlsbad, according to law enforcement. Seau was pulled from the vehicle by law enforcement officials suffering only bruises and cuts and was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, Calif.

It was unclear what caused the NFL star to drive off the cliff.

9. Being too intoxicated, lovesick or upset can certainly CAUSE an accident.

It would depend entirely upon how far the road was from the cliff. But I'll concede that we shouldn't rule out "mechanical," either.

Three AM is much too early to go to the beach to watch the sun rise.

5. At first I thought this was another one of those...
actor/comedian falls off cliff while filming in New Zealand fake stories.

But it looks to be true!

Wow!

11. Following his release early Monday...after being arrested
Edited on Mon Oct-18-10 01:34 PM by rocktivity
on a charge of felony spousal assault with injury, Junior Seau later drove his SUV off a cliff today...

The ASSOCIATED PRESS reports the drop from the roadside cliff to the beach was approximately 30 feet...

A witness told News 8 that he was seen driving about 70 miles per hour and made no attempt to brake or slow down.
