BATON ROUGE -LSU legend Skip Bertman was taken to the hospital after he wrecked his vehicle in the Riverbend neighborhood Friday afternoon.

Bertman was evaluated at the hospital and suffered “bumps and bruises,” according to an LSU athletics spokesperson. He is in good spirits and is doing okay, LSU said after the crash.

Video shared with WBRZ showed Bertman’s car flipped on it’s side on Riverbend Boulevard near the entrance to the community.

Bertman’s vehicle was the only vehicle involved.

Obviously number 1 hopefully he's ok. But, how do you manage to turn your car on it's side in front of the neighborhood?

Win tonight for Skip ! Accidents happen..you see. We got to get the timely hit in crunch time. You have to impact the baseball..you see and keep moving base to base. If that doesn’t work you call my friend , henri Saunders. He’s the real pro.

How old is he? Might be that time to consider him not driving himself around BR bad traffic.
Get him a driver LSU

Maybe he hit the median at a really bad angle and at a high rate of speed. Just guessing.

He may have hit the gas when he wanted to hit the brakes or something. He's old, they do stuff like that.

Only other thing I can think of is maybe he swerved to avoid hitting an aninal and then, as you said, hit a curb or median which caused the car to pop up awkwardly.

I saw ole Skip at the Football Ops building a couple of weeks ago. He was looking pretty old. Might be time to have someone drive him around.

Not quite. The Skip impressionist is Ronnie Rantz.

It happened in his neighborhood. I used to live in Riverbend and the only bad traffic there is the ice cream truck going too slow.
