Joey Harrington, Former NFL QB, Hit By Car

Former NFL quarterback Joey Harrington was badly injured when he was struck by an SUV while riding his bike in Oregon on Sunday night.

Fortunately, the 33-year-old's injuries, while quite serious, are not believed to be life-threatening. Reports say he will leave hospital today.

Harrington, a former first round draft pick out of the University of Oregon, broke his collarbone, punctured a lung and lacerated his head.

Police say the SUV struck Harrington from behind around 8:30 p.m. The 26-year-old driver was cited by police for following too closely.

Joey's father said that the former NFL player was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, which may well have aided his survival.

Here's wishing him a speedy and full recovery.
