49ers Aldon Smith Survives San Jose Auto Crash and Near Deer Collision, Wore Seatbelt

September 20, 2012 | Filed under: Blog

NFL’s 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith survived an auto accident in San Jose Friday night after the driver swerved to avoid crashing into a deer. Smith suffered only minor injuries as a result of wearing a seatbelt. The driver was hospitalized and the deer dashed away from the scene unscathed. The BMW they were in was wrecked.

In front of his locker, Smith said to reporters when asked about the incident that he and the driver walked away from, “Everybody’s good, we all walked away from it. The only thing messed up was the car.” There were no side effects from the crash that deterred the linebacker from playing a good game that day.

Once at the scene paramedics transported the driver of the vehicle, who was unidentified, to San Jose Regional Medical Centers’ trauma center. According to the California Highway Patrol, the driver suffered an alleged broken back.

It was reported that the unidentified driver had swerved to avoid a deer that ran in front of the car, then lost control of the vehicle down a winding road at the foothills east of San Jose at 11:45 p.m. Unable to regain control of the vehicle, it crashed against a tree. The deer fled from the scene.

Smith sat at the passengers’ seat. During the crash he slammed his head against a part of the vehicle and was cut below his right eyebrow. He was wearing his seatbelt and did not suffer serious injuries.

This was not the first incident that Smith has had this year. Earlier he was involved in a DUI when he was in Miami Beach in January. He was also stabbed at a house party in June where he received minor wound injuries. However, those events have not dissuaded Smith from thinking like a champion.

“I’m just focused on moving forward. If I saw a pattern with a person on my team, and he was able to make plays and play a good game, that’s what I’m worried about. I’m worried about how he plays the game. I’m worried about how he’s helping out this team. I’m worried about the wins we’re getting.” Smith told Sacramento Bee that his incidents have not disrupted his on-field performance.

Having a positive outlook at life is what has kept Smith the 22-year-old winning. On Tuesday’s game he was able to make plays and help the team win, earning him an official sack.
