Overview
- The Adelaide Football Club confirmed late Friday that one of its players was in a vehicle collision involving a pedestrian on Port Road at Woodville.
- South Australia Police said they are investigating the collision and confirmed both parties attended police stations to report the incident while declining to release further details.
- The club reported the player missed the Crows' morning training session and described him as physically OK and expected to line up against the Gold Coast Suns on Saturday night.
- Media reports vary on whether the player struck the pedestrian and on the player’s emotional state, but official statements have limited public detail while the police inquiry is under way.
- The player named in reports, Josh Worrell, is a 25-year-old Adelaide defender with about 70 AFL games to his name this season and his fitness and any legal outcomes are likely to shape team selection and any further club comment.
