Terrible

TMZ has learned Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Nick Adenhart was killed in a felony hit-and-run car accident in Fullerton, California early this morning -- hours after he pitched in a game last night.

Cops say someone driving a minivan blew through a red light, causing the Mitsubishi that Adenhart was riding in to hit a light pole. Three people were killed in the crash, including Nick.

Cops say the person driving the van fled the scene -- but was later caught and charged with felony hit-and-run. The suspect is currently being treated for injuries in a local hospital.

We're told one of the other men killed in the crash was also affiliated with the Angels organization.

Nick was 22-years-old.

FYI -- Nick pitched his ass off last night, striking out 5 guys in 6 scoreless innings. His performance was hailed by sportswriters as a "brilliant effort."

You're right. Sort of way off topic. And I hope you realized I was being rather sarcastic.

Happened to a great aunt of mine last year.

Piece of shit that hit her (at about five AM while she was walking on a wide country road with a reflective vest and big flashlight) was driving home drunk. He hit her and drove off. She was sent flying into the ditch where she died before someone found her later that morning.

The ****er had multiple DUIs and out of total irony, his dad was killed in a alcohol induced hit-and-run years ago.

A whooping 4.5 years in prison is all he got.

I can imagine how irate the families of Nick Adenhart and the other folks in that car are.

The murderer's mother claimed the sentence was too harsh. ****ing dumb trash ****.

"His father flew out here from Baltimore to watch him start last night, so his father is here, obviously going through a great deal of grief," Angels spokesman Tim Mead said.

I didn't notice your sarcasm. It's tough to pick that up in text sometimes, sorry.

That is why I ALWAYS look before I go through a red light. I do not want to let some ignorant fuck be in control if I live or die.
