I was in a head on collision a couple of years back, and my car looked almost as bad as that. And I came out with a broken foot.


Me too, at 45mph. I was belted in and walked away uninjured. The other driver was not belted and was in the hospital for a month.

But if this was a case where he got t-boned it's another matter, doors just aren't heavy enough to take that kind of impact.

It looks like mid-city because the street car tracks are on the side of the neutral ground instead of on the neutral ground. That is the 3 lane portion of Carrollton.

Jeep? The seat looks fine but it's pushed close to the dash.

Just talked to Michael Bonnette at LSU, is true, he spoke with family members as well. No word on condition, but he said he'll update us as soon as he hears something.

Jeff Palermo spoke with Chad Jones father and confirmed reports of accident. Nothing further other than what they reported earlier per Dave Cohen at WWL.

Chad Jones was one of my favorite Tigers. I hope the reports of his injuries are over exaggerated and that he makes a full recovery.

Please hit up Kyle Peterson and the ESPN crew up in Omaha if you get a chance. I know that they would like to keep the "Dreadlocks of Doom" in their thoughts and prayers.

Thanks so much.

Why is there not a link anywhere? You would think NOLA or WWL would at least post something

Frustrating when one of our Tigers is injured and theres no info anywhere on it

2-sport star Chad Jones injured in crash

WWL.com Reporting

LSU 2-sport athlete Chad Jones has been involved in a car crash in New Orleans.

WWL.com columnist Jeff Palermo talked with Jones' father, who was headed to the hospital. Alfred Jones confirmed his son was hurt, but said he was alert when paramedics took him to the emergency room.

Jones won national championships with the LSU football team and the Tiger Baseball team. He played defensive back, punt returner and pitcher.

The New York Giants drafted Jones in the NFL and the Milwaukee Brewers picked him in the Major League Baseball draft.


Edited for WWL's spelling error.
