From TMZ via MLBTradeRumors.com

Cops say someone driving a minivan blew through a red light, causing the Mitsubishi that Adenhart was riding in to hit a light pole. Three people were killed in the crash, including Nick.

Cops say the person driving the van fled the scene -- but was later caught and charged with felony hit-and-run. The suspect is currently being treated for injuries in a local hospital.

We're told one of the other men killed in the crash was also affiliated with the Angels organization.

Nick was 22 years old.

What a tragic event. This really puts all baseball things into perspective. Angels fans (including me) were whining over the bullpen blowing Nick's great start and now that is the most irrelevant thing in the world. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
