ESPN baseball and softball analyst Jessica Mendoza was in a car accident Friday and could not make the network's Sunday Night Baseball Giants-Phillies broadcast in San Francisco, as first reported by USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
According to Nightengale, Mendoza’s car was rear-ended at full speed on a Southern Cal freeway, but she'll likely will return to call next Sunday's MLB Little League Classic between the Cubs and Pirates in Williamsport, Pa.
ESPN communications director Ben Cafardo tweeted about the incident, wishing Mendoza the best.
Best to @JessMendoza who is recovering today after a scary ordeal as Bob mentions below.
