The former standout linebacker for the San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots went from being arrested to plunging over a seaside cliff in his SUV to a hospital. The 12-time Pro Bowler was arrested on suspicion of assaulting his live-in girlfriend, then less than nine hours later sent his white Cadillac SUV plunging off the road Monday down a rough, sloping hillside about 100 feet to the beach below, but suffered only minor injuries, Carlsbad Police Lt. Kelly Cain said. Seau was taken to Scripps La Jolla Hospital in San Diego, where a spokeswoman reached by phone would give no information on his condition or say whether he had been released. Police dispatcher Matthew Pinell said late Monday alcohol and drugs are not suspected to be factors in the crash "at this time." Seau told investigators he drove off the cliff because he fell asleep. Cain told the North County Times that the lack of skid marks leading up to where the vehicle plunged off the cliff supported Seau's statement. "If you have somebody fall asleep, that's the kind of exit you will have," Cain said. click on the link to continue reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
