Donte Stallworth Injured In Hot Air Balloon Accident
Free agent wide receiver Donte' Stallworth suffered at least some burns but is expected to be OK following a hot air balloon accident Saturday, his agent told USA TODAY Sports.
Agent Drew Rosenhaus, in an e-mail to USA TODAY Sports, wrote of Stallworth, "He's ok. Has some burns but he will be fine. "He will be able to continue his NFL career. The injuries are not to the extent they will jeopardize his career."
ESPN Boston was the first to report the accident.
The Associated Press reported that Stallworth has "serious" burns and had been hospitalized. AP said the basket carrying three hot air balloon passengers crashed into the power lines in South Florida while airborne, according to Miami-Dade Police spokesman Roy Rutland. Two passengers were transported to a trauma center, Rutland said. A third was not injured.
Rosenhaus said one of the passengers was Stallworth's girlfriend, but he would not say whether she was hurt.
