Two Missouri freshman football players are recovering from injuries they suffered in a traffic accident in Columbia, Mo.
Linebacker Eric Beisel and cornerback Anthony Sherrils — both three-star prospects coming out of Missouri high schools — were passengers in a Mazda 6 that failed to yield at a left turn and struck another car Tuesday morning near Memorial Stadium, according to university police.
Beisel, Sherrils and the driver, Danielle Williams, were thrown into the windshield, according to the Kansas City Star. University police Capt. Scott Richardson said the three weren’t wearing seat belts.
They were taken to University Hospital and released after treatment for minor injuries. The other driver remained hospitalized Wednesday in fair condition.
A Missouri Tigers spokesman told the Associated Press the athletes won’t be punished over the incident.
