October 27, 2005 Denver Broncos lineman Dwayne Carswell was taken to a hospital this morning after a multi-car accident in Aurora.

Shortly after 7 a.m., a driver in a gold Grand Am cut off a Volvo on the northbound lane of Parker Road near Hampden Avenue, said Anthony Guzman, spokesman for the Aurora police department. The two vehicles collided and went into the southbound lane, hitting three vehicles.

Carswell was driving in one of the southbound vehicles. Carswell and a female were taken to a local hospital.

Ted Sundquist, the Broncos general manager, told CBS4 Carswell had a torn diaphragm and bleeding in the chest cavity. Doctors did exploratory work to see what the extent of the injuries was around his heart and/or aorta, CBS4 reported on its Web site, cbs4denver.com. Sundquist, said the torn diaphragm will need to be repaired. Surgery may also be needed on the chest cavity.

This was his second car wreck of the week... a taxi hit him earlier. That's just nuts. They removed his spleen as part of the 5 hour surgery.

Looks like he's in for a hard road, hope he pulls through it all ok. Hows the girl?

I have no idea... I read an update on the Sports page, so it didn't say much about the girl.

I hear that. I do not miss driving there at all...I used to get tailgated when riding my motocycle, with my daughter as a passenger.

I hope he makes a full recovery from his injuries.
