ESPN.com news services

Nick Adenhart, a rookie pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels, died in a car crash early Thursday morning, just hours after pitching in a game in Anaheim.

A source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to ESPN.com that Adenhart had been killed in a car accident.

Wednesday night, Adenhart had pitched six scoreless innings, giving up seven hits, striking out five and walking three in just his fourth major league start.

According to multiple reports out of the Los Angeles area, three people were killed in the three-car crash in Fullerton, Calif. One person was reported to be seriously injured.

According to the Los Angeles Times, witnesses told police that the driver of a red minivan blew through a red light and hit a Mitsubishi carrying four people.

The Times reported that the minivan's driver ran from the scene, but was arrested about a mile away.

Information from ESPN.com's Amy K. Nelson and Jerry Crasnick and The Associated Press was used in this report.

Just too damn tragic. Only 22 years old and just coming off the best start of his terribly brief career. There is little I hate more in life than hit-and-run drivers.

man, as an avid Angels fan this came as an extreme shock, this was within minutes from my business. Alot of people are extremely distraught, a young pitcher with great potential who just came off 6 great innings pitched, we only lost that game because our bullpen let 6 runs in two innings.

I dont think the game will be played tonight. Rightfully so.

He was from the town over, so my station covered his hs career. Needless to say this has been a crazy news day.

RIP.

The minivan driver fled the crash on foot and was captured about 30 minutes later. Police identified him as Andrew Thomas Gallo, 22, of Riverside, and said he had a suspended license because of a previous drunken driving conviction.

Preliminary results indicated Gallo's blood-alcohol level was "substantially over the legal limit" of .08 percent, police Lt. Kevin Hamilton said.

Damn

It is unbelievably tragic that a young, punk kid who is drunk off his ass kills an equally young man in a senseless crime, and also critically injures another former collegiate baseball player in the process.
