Rex Ryan Surrenders to Police Over Nashville Pedestrian Collision

Former NFL coach Rex Ryan turned himself in to Nashville police on Wednesday following an alleged hit-and-run incident that injured two pedestrians.

Police report that Ryan was driving in downtown Nashville last week when he allegedly turned at a red light. The vehicle struck the feet of two pedestrians who had the right of way on a main street. Ryan left the scene without stopping.

Court records show Ryan was charged with six misdemeanors. These include two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of failing to give information or render aid, and two counts of failing to obey a traffic control signal. He is scheduled to appear in court next month.

Ryan previously served as head coach for the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets. He led the Jets to the AFC Championship Game in the seasons following 2009 and 2010. He is the son of the late Buddy Ryan, who coordinated the 1985 Chicago Bears defense. Currently, Ryan works as an analyst on ESPN’s NFL pregame show.

A phone number believed to belong to Ryan had an automatic outgoing message at press time, and no message could be left.
