Rex Ryan Faces Charges After Nashville Pedestrian Collision

Holland said he and his wife had a walk signal and had just entered a crosswalk on Broadway when Ryan’s pickup turned into them. He said the truck ran over both of his feet and struck his wife’s foot and leg. The couple suffered painful injuries, including a torn toenail, and Holland said he may need X-rays.

Holland said Ryan drove on without checking on them. The couple reached the truck in traffic, he said, and confronted the driver. Holland alleged Ryan then left again. He called 911, and police and emergency medical workers came to the scene. Holland said he initially did not recognize Ryan, but later identified him from the truck’s license plate.

Police reviewed surveillance footage of the incident. Six misdemeanor warrants were filed against Ryan, including counts related to leaving an accident scene, failing to provide information or aid, and disobeying a traffic signal. Ryan turned himself in to Nashville police on November 11 and was freed on $6,000 bond. He is due in court on December 18.

Holland said he and his wife narrowly avoided more serious injuries and are still experiencing pain. Ryan’s attorney, David Raybin, declined to comment on Holland’s allegations.
