Giants’ notes: DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches ‘fortunate’ to escape car wreck unhurt

New York Giants defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches said on Tuesday that both cars were totaled in the car accident he was involved in on the eve of training camp one week ago.

Nunez-Roches said the driver of the other vehicle failed to heed a ‘STOP’ sign, and he was fortunate to be able to stop quickly enough to avoid a head-on collision.

“Definitely was fortunate coming out of the situation, looking at the accident,” Nunez-Roches told media via Zoom. “It was definitely an eye-opener.

“At the same time, shoot, I’m in a car wreck every week at practice, so it wasn’t anything different.
