dpFormer NFL Coach Rex Ryan, 63, surrendered for booking this morning on six outstanding misdemeanor warrants charging him with striking two pedestrians (minor injuries) with his pickup truck shortly before midnight last Thursday at 4th Avenue and Broadway.
The pedestrians were crossing Broadway from 4th Avenue with a walk sign when the pickup truck turned right from 4th Avenue running over both victims’ feet and making contact with one of the individual’s legs. The pedestrians said the vehicle kept going, but stopped for the red light at Broadway and Representative John Lewis Way where they waved down the driver (Ryan). They said he stepped out of the truck to argue with them, got back in, and drove away. They took pictures of the truck’s license plate (registered the Ryan) and the driver.
Ryan is charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of failure to give information/render aid, and two counts of failure to obey a traffic control signal. A judicial commissioner set Ryan’s bond at $6,000.
