Report: Former UConn OT Mike Ryan Involved In Serious Car Accident Saturday Night…

By dconner On June 18, 2012 · From the Allentown Morning Call….

By TRACY JORDAN = Allentown Morning Call
Mike Ryan, a three-year starter at offensive tackle at UConn, drove head-on into another car in his hometown of Tamaqua, Pa., late Saturday night, police said. He was critically injured and the other driver was also hospitalized.
Ryan, 23, was driving north in the turn lane of Route 309 and hit a southbound car driven by Gary Boettger, 28, of E. Elm Street, Tamaqua police said.
Police said Ryan crossed the double yellow line while trying to turn left onto Taggartsville Road, hitting Boettger’s car after Boettger had turned onto southbound Route 309 from Taggartsville.
Boettger and Ryan were flown by helicopter to hospitals following the 11:45 p.m. collision. Boettger’s condition was not available Monday from St. Luke’s University Hospital-Fountain Hill. Ryan remained in critical condition at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest.
A passenger in Ryan’s car, Brad Petritsch, 23, of Mahanoy City, was taken by ambulance to St. Luke’s Miners Memorial Hospital-Coaldale. Petritsch, the son of Mahanoy City Mayor Nancy Petritsch, was treated and released, according to the hospital.
Tamaqua police said charges against Ryan are pending further investigation. A news release from police did not specify what charges could be filed.
Ryan was signed as an undrafted free agent with the Cincinnati Bengals this year but was released May 2 after failing his physical. He has said he sustained a “slight knee injury” at UConn’s Pro Day in March.
Ryan was a two-time All-Big East selection and a three-year starter at offensive tackle for the Huskies.

Prayers to Mike and all involved….

Mike is a tough kid. Hope he fully recovers.

Let's not forget about the other guy involved in the wreck either. Speedy recoveries to all.

Dez tweeted that Mike is responding to commands and there appears to be no brain issues. Should be ok in the long run.

Good news indeed.
Wow, finally. Been scouring the internet for info for days. That is (some) good news out of this tragedy.
