How it went down

Adam Rubin at The NY Daily News writes about how the Dauner Sanchez accident went:

Duaner Sanchez, riding with three relatives in search of a midnight snack after the team arrived in South Florida on Sunday night following a sweep of the Braves, separated his pitching shoulder as a result of a two-vehicle accident. The righty reliever flew to New York yesterday, where he was hospitalized in "a lot of pain," GM Omar Minaya said.

Minaya said there's a "50-50" chance Sanchez will have surgery, which would end his season. The GM maintained that if the reliever avoided surgery, he could return in September. Minaya said he believed the accident happened on I-95, and that the cab slammed against a wall.

"Duaner tried to protect himself by putting a hand out and that's how he got hurt," Minaya said.
One person who spoke with Sanchez said: "He was upset about his shoulder, and then he was scared about the surgery. The way he described it, he said someone was coming down the wrong way of the highway."

A Mets official expected no arrests, and suggested another vehicle turned into the cab.

No Arrests? Now that I can't believe.
