Former Jets coach Rex Ryan charged in Tennessee after alleged accident

Former New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan is facing six misdemeanor charges in Tennessee after being accused of leaving the scene of an accident, CBS New York reported.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department says Ryan was driving a pickup truck just before midnight last Thursday when it ran over the feet of two people who were crossing the street. Police say the truck also came into contact with one of their legs. Police describe the injuries as minor.

According to police, the truck kept going and stopped at a nearby red light. The pedestrians waved Ryan down, and police say he got out of the truck to argue with them, then got back in and drove away. The two people took pictures of the license plate and the driver.

Ryan surrendered to police on Wednesday morning. The charges include two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of failure to give information and render aid, and two counts of failure to obey a traffic control signal. His bond was set at $6,000.

Ryan coached the Jets from 2009 to 2014 and is now an NFL analyst at ESPN. In a statement, ESPN said it is aware of the matter and in touch with Ryan. The charges are allegations, and the case has not been decided.
