Former New England Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes has been hit by a bus.
And we only wish that was a punchline about an encounter with Pittsburgh Steelers Hall-of-Fame running back Jerome Bettis. But there's nothing funny about what happened to Spikes this week.
Spikes, a ferocious hitter during his four-year Patriots career, posted a picture of himself on a stretcher in a neck brace, claiming that he was just hit by an airport bus. He asked Patriots fans to pray for him.
No other information was provided by Spikes, and it is unclear whether he was driving or walking when the accident occurred.
