Mike Trout knew reporters were looking for him in Safeco Field’s visiting clubhouse Friday afternoon. Spotting them upon barreling around a corner, the Angels center fielder said he was ready to speak about his Wednesday car crash. And then he sighed.
“Oh, geez,” he said.
Leaning against a wall, Trout said he had never been involved in an accident accident before Wednesday night, when he was returning home from a postgame dinner with teammates around 8:40 p.m.
According to the California Highway Patrol report of the incident, Trout swerved in his Mercedes to avoid congested traffic on the southbound 55 Freeway and struck another vehicle.
