Former NFL coach Rex Ryan, 63, turned himself in Wednesday morning after warrants were issued accusing him of striking two pedestrians with his pickup truck in downtown Nashville last week.
According to police, the incident happened shortly before midnight Thursday at 4th Avenue and Broadway.
The two pedestrians were crossing Broadway from 4th Avenue with a walk signal when Ryan allegedly turned right and ran over both of their feet. Police say the truck also made contact with one pedestrian’s leg, causing minor injuries.
The pedestrians told police the truck continued driving but stopped at a red light at Broadway and Representative John Lewis Way. They approached the driver, identified as Ryan, who got out of the truck and argued with them before driving away, according to the report.
The pedestrians took pictures of the truck’s license plate and the driver.
Ryan faces six misdemeanor charges, including two counts each of leaving the scene of an accident, failure to give information or render aid, and failure to obey a traffic control signal.
A judicial commissioner set his bond at $6,000.
