Texas State Football Player Arrested, Basketball Players Injured in Accident

Bobcat linebacker James Clavell-Head has been arrested for reckless driving, and men's basketball player Ryan White has been hospitalized along with freshman women's basketball guard Diamond Ford in a wreck that occurred in the Speck Lot on campus last Friday at approximately 1:10 pm.

According to a police report filed by the Texas State University Police Department, Clavell-Head picked up passenger Ty Davis at Harris Dining Hall and "burned out" into Speck Parking Lot while traveling at approximately 30 mph. Clavell-Head then struck the car carrying White and Ford. White was taken to Brackenridge Hospital in Austin, TX to be treated for four broken ribs and a minor collapsed lung, while Ms. Ford was also taken to Brackenridge for unspecified injuries.

The current conditions of both White and Ford are unknown at this time, although White did tell UPD investigating officer Jesus Balderamas that he was expected to be released from Brackenridge this last weekend. Clavell-Head did not sustain any injuries in the crash, and was arrested by UPD officers on the charge of reckless driving. His passenger, Ty Davis, was not injured or arrested in the wreck, and two parked cars were also damaged in the indicent.

Officials at the Texas State Athletic Department declined to comment on the status of Clavell-Head until his legal proceedings are finished. They also declined to comment on the conditions of Ryan White and Diamond Ford.
