Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton and his family were reportedly involved in a car accident in Charlotte, North Carolina today.
According to CBS NFL insider Jonathan Jones, Dalton, his wife, their three kids and their dog were all in the car when it happened. Fortunately, it appears that nobody was injured as emergency medical personnel were not asked to transport anyone from the scene.
"Panthers QB Andy Dalton was involved in a car accident in Charlotte today, team spokesperson confirms to @NFLonCBS . Dalton, his wife, three kids and dog were in the car. Thankfully, no one from Dalton's car was transported by emergency medical personnel," Jones wrote on X.
In a follow-up report, Jones reported that Dalton is being evaluated by the Panthers' medical team but there are no available details beyond that.
Football fans have all come out to offer their thoughts and prayers to Dalton, expressing hope that he and his family are okay:
"Prayers for Andy and his family. They will forever be supported by the Cincinnati community," a Cincinnati Bengals fan wrote.
"Glad to hear he's okay," another fan wrote.
"Hope all is good with Andy and his family," wrote a third.
Dalton is a 14-year NFL veteran who took over as the starting quarterback of the Carolina Panthers in Week 3 following a string of bad performances by Week 1 starter Bryce Young.
Dalton acquitted himself well in his first start by leading the Panthers to their first win of the season against the Las Vegas Raiders. But the Panthers have fallen back to their losing ways in the four weeks since while the defense has given up 37 points per game in that span.
We certainly hope that Dalton and everyone involved in the car accident gets a clean bill of health.
