  "account": "Former NFL coach Rex Ryan turned himself in to police in Nashville on Wednesday for allegedly hitting two pedestrians with his car and fleeing the scene, according to police reports. The incident occurred last week when Ryan allegedly turned at a red light at a busy intersection in downtown Nashville, striking the victims' feet as they had the right of way crossing the main street. Ryan was charged with 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, all of which are classified as misdemeanors, based on court records. No attorney for Ryan has been identified at this time. Ryan is scheduled to appear in court in the coming months. Ryan's coaching career includes stints with the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets, where he led the Jets to the AFC Championship Game in back-to-back seasons during the 2009 and 2010 seasons. After retiring from coaching, Ryan transitioned to a role as an analyst for ESPN's NFL pregame show. Ryan's father, Buddy Ryan, was a renowned NFL coaching figure who was known for his strategic prowess, most notably in the 1985 Chicago Bears defense that was considered one of the best in NFL history. Currently, Ryan focuses on his work with ESPN. The phone number associated with Ryan's residence had an automatic outgoing message, preventing attempts at leaving a voice message.",
