Adelaide Crows Defender Set to Face Court over Car Accident
SA Police say Worrell was reported after a collision that injured a 29-year-old pedestrian, and he will be summonsed to court.
On Friday, Adelaide Crows defender Josh Worrell was involved in a vehicle collision on Port Road at Woodville, prompting police to report him for aggravated driving without due care.
Police reported the 25-year-old driver for failing to present to police within 90 minutes after the collision, while the 29-year-old pedestrian allegedly "sustained injuries and was taken to hospital by the driver."
Adelaide Football Club confirmed the accident on Friday, though Worrell played in the Crows' 79-point win over Gold Coast on Saturday night after missing morning training.
At a Tuesday media conference, Crows coach Matthew Nicks addressed the crash, saying, "It's been a pretty challenging few days for Josh," and pledging club support.
Worrell will face court at a later date to address charges stemming from the collision at Woodville regarding his failure to present to police within the required timeframe.
