Angels Pitcher Nick Adenhart Killed Hours After Start

Some really sad news this morning coming out of of Los Angeles.

Angels starter, 22-year old Nick Adenhart, was killed early this morning when a minivan ran a red light and plowed into the side of his car, apparently killing everyone inside.

The driver of the van fled the scene but was apprehended by police. Unconfirmed reports say the driver may have been intoxicated.

Adenhart took the mound Wednesday night and threw 6 scoreless innings against Oakland. It was only his 4th career start in the majors.

Correction: The LA Times is now reporting that 3 of the 4 people in the car with Adenhart were killed, with the other in critical condition.
