Nick Adenhart, MLB Los Angeles Angels rookie pitcher, was killed last night in a car accident in Fullerton, California.
Nick Adenhart, 22, died after the silver Mitsubishi he and three other friends were riding was hit by a mini-van which ran a red light and crashed onto the light pole midnight at the intersection of Orangethorpe Avenue in Fullerton.
The van driver Andrew Thomas Gallo fled the scene but later was caught by the police and charged felony hit-and-run.
