Police: Michael Phelps not to blame for three-car accident
Michael Phelps wasn’t the fast one this time.
The 14-time Olympic gold medalist is not to blame for a three-car accident Thursday night, Aug. 13, the Baltimore Sun reports quoting police.
The newspaper said the accident was caused when the driver of a Honda Accord sped through a red light and hit a Cadillac Escalade driven by Phelps.
The Cadillac, Honda and a parked car were seriously damaged.
Phelps was apparently shaken, but he and his passengers were uninjured. The Honda driver was taken to a Baltimore hospital as a precaution.
Police are trying to determine if one of the drivers ran a red light. There was no indication that booze contributed to the collision, the Sun reports.
The 24-year-old swimming great was arrested in 2004 on a driving while under the influence of alcohol charge. You’ll probably remember those bong photos that got him in hot water.
