Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was injured in a car accident on Tuesday, according to the Charlotte Observer.
Newton's car overturned and he was taken from the scene in an ambulance, after being placed on a stretcher, Jonathan Jones of the Observer said.
The extent of the injuries are not known yet. A Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officer confirmed to Jones that Newton was driving and said he was able to communicate. Here's another angle of the scene:
The Observer said it was a two-car crash on the Church Street bridge in Charlotte over I-277 at about 12:30 p.m. Eastern time. Mark Becker of WSOC 9 in Charlotte said Newton's truck flipped four times, according to witnesses. Another photo from Jones shows the wrecked truck:
Newton, 25, a former Heisman Trophy winner at Auburn, has become one of the NFL's rising stars. He is a two-time Pro Bowl quarterback who won the NFL's offensive rookie of the year award in 2011.
