Dude said he was driving behind Cam and was first on the scene. Said their light turned green and out of nowhere this buick came from the left side, nailing the back end of the driver's side of Newton's truck sending his car skidding and flipping. If it turns out the other person run a stop sign, he may feel the full extent of the law considering what just happened.

The car's right side was damaged. Seems like it would be the left if he hit him in the back.

From what I saw from the on scene videos reporting from the intersection Newton was struck by the other vehicle which was approaching at any angle, sort a less skewed y intersection, from Newtons left side. From that angle the damage would be to the right side of the vehicle that struck Cam's truck.

Also the impact would be the right front of the automobile and most likely the left rear tire in Cam's truck as it's raised and has larger tires. Also would make it easier to flip. That also was the reason it probably stayed on the bridge instead of skidding out of control.

Did they really? Do you have a quote because I would like to read it.

Well nvm. Idk if chknwing quoted the wrong article or the website changed it. Nothing what he said was in the article.

charlotte observer is reporting Cam was at fault in the accident

The Buick’s unidentified driver, writhing in pain on the sidewalk, told police that he was crossing Church Street when a truck “came flying down” the street and struck him.

Construction workers who wouldn’t identify themselves told an Observer reporter that Newton’s truck had barreled down Church Street, just north of the crash site, at a high speed.

future lawsuit impending

Ok because the observer, or one of their editors, did tweet a BS headline like "Cam Newton has 16 driving citations".

But what the headline didn't say is 15 of those citations were from college. Only one since 2011.

That poo pissed me off.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
