Rex Ryan surrenders in alleged hit-and-run that injured 2 pedestrians: Police

Ex-NFL head coach Rex Ryan turned himself in on Wednesday, according to police, after being wanted on six misdemeanor warrants stemming from an alleged hit-and-run incident that left two pedestrians injured. The former coach, 63, surrendered in Nashville, Tennessee, on charges of leaving the scene of an accident, failing to give information or render aid, and violating traffic laws.

Ryan was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run on November 5 in downtown Nashville, where he struck two pedestrians crossing Broadway from Fourth Avenue at midnight, police said. The pedestrians, who were obeying a walk signal, suffered minor injuries. Ryan's pickup truck allegedly continued to drive away, and the victims approached it after it stopped at a red light a block away.

The driver stepped out of the truck and engaged in an argument before getting back in and fleeing the scene, police said. Ryan's pickup truck was later identified as the one involved in the accident, with its license plate registered to him. A judicial commissioner set his bail at $6,000, and ESPN, which employs Ryan as an analyst, has been informed of the situation.
