Dartmouth football coach suffers ‘serious injuries’ after being struck by pickup truck while bicycling

Dartmouth head football coach Buddy Teevens was hospitalized with “serious injuries” after he was struck by a pickup truck while bicycling in Florida last week, his wife said Monday.

Teevens, who is in his second stint as head coach of Dartmouth’s football team, was injured during a “bicycle accident” in St. Augustine on Thursday, the university confirmed in a press release over the weekend. 

But details of the crash reported on by Valley News revealed that Teevens and his wife, Kristen Teevens, were both on bicycles while on their way home from a restaurant when the longtime coach was struck by a pickup truck being driven by a 40-year-old female driver.

“He has sustained serious injuries and is currently hospitalized,” Kirsten Teevens told the outlet. “He is a healthy man and hopefully he will have a full recovery. We are very appreciative of all the support and the outpouring of love.”

A preliminary report from the Florida Highway Patrol, obtained by the outlet, described Teevens injuries as “critical” and noted that there were “no illuminated lights were observed on the bicycle.”

The report also noted that Teevens was not wearing a helmet and “was not in a crosswalk or designated crossing area.”

According to the university, Teevens is not accepting visitors as he recovers.

The 65-year-old coach is Dartmouth’s all-time winningest coach. He coached the team to back-to-back Ivy League titles during his first stint as head coach between 1987 and 1991. He returned in 2005, winning three more titles. 

Teevens owns a 117-101-2 record and is 83-70-1 in Ivy League play over his career.

Broncos' Russell Wilson suffers big knot on his head as tackle left him with concussion

Russell Wilson nearly led the Denver Broncos to an incredible comeback victory against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday but left the game early with a concussion.

On 3rd-and-11 from the Chiefs’ 16-yard line, Wilson scrambled for a first down and was about 2 yards short of the end zone when he was tackled by safety Juan Thornhill. Wilson went down hard and appeared to be in a daze. He needed to be helped up by medical personnel.

He wouldn’t return to the game and the broadcast camera showed the veteran quarterback with a big knot in his head as he roamed the sideline.

Brett Rypien came into the game and threw a touchdown pass to Jerry Jeudy to cut their deficit to just six points. But Rypien failed to complete the comeback and the Chiefs won the game 34-28.

Wilson was 24-of-36 passing with 247 yards and three touchdowns and an interception. It was the first time all season the Broncos had scored more than 25 points in a game. 

“He was fighting the whole game,” Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said. “I give him so much credit and you see it, day-in and day-out. No matter what the situation is, just watching him there in that third-down situation to be able to break the pocket, and he was using his legs a lot. He obviously ended up getting a concussion. I think our medical team did a great job of getting him in here. He’s in the concussion protocol now. So we’ll go through that step-by-step process and do it the right way. But he played really well.”

Wilson’s status is unclear but the Broncos’ chances of making the playoffs are over.
