Four members of the Abilene Christian football team’s traveling group were injured Saturday after a car crash involving the team’s bus following a 52-51 overtime loss against Texas Tech.
“Four people suffered minor injuries – one student-athlete, two coaches and the bus driver,” the school said it said in a statement. “All four were transported to University Medical Center Lubbock. We are grateful to Texas Tech Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt, their team physician Dr. Michael Fee and all first responders for their help and care.”
The accident happened around 11:45 pm CT while the team was traveling from Lubbock to Abilene.
KTAB’s Manny Diaz reports that 19-year-old Parker Young was arrested and charged with DWI after allegedly disregarding traffic directions from officers at the intersection of Marsha Sharp Highway and University Avenue, colliding with Abilene’s team bus Christian.
The bus then collided with another vehicle.
The incident followed a heated game between Texas Tech and Abilene Christian in which the Wildcats erased a 32-14 deficit in the second quarter and forced overtime. Texas Tech scored a touchdown on its first possession of the stretch and kicked the extra point, and Abilene Christian followed with a touchdown of its own.
But the Wildcats went for a potential game-winning two-point play and fell short, giving Texas Tech the win.
Still, it was an impressive performance from Abilene Christian, which plays at the FCS level in the United Athletic Conference and was a huge underdog against the Big 12’s Red Raiders.
