Angels Pitcher Nick Adenhart's Tragic Death R.I.P.

A couple of hours after that 6-4 loss, the Angels suffered a loss much more painful and lasting. A van driven by Andrew Thomas Gallo, a 22-year-old Riverside resident, ran a red light at the Fullerton intersection of Lemon and Orangethorpe and slammed the two-door Eclipse in which Adenhart was a passenger, hurtling it against a telephone pole.
Adenhart was pulled from the wreckage by Fullerton Fire Dept. rescuers and transported within 15 minutes to University of California-Irvine Medical Center, where he was soon pronounced dead. Courtney Stewart, the 20-year-old driver of the vehicle, and another unidentified 27-year-old male passenger were declared dead at the scene.
"An absolutely horrible tragedy," said Lt. Kevin Hamilton, in charge of the traffic bureau for the Fullerton Police Dept. and lead investigator on the case.

I received this e-mail from my AE with the Angels
The Thursday, April 9th Angels' game against the Oakland A's has been cancelled due to the tragic death of right-handed pitcher Nick Adenhart in a car accident Wednesday night. The game will be rescheduled for a date yet to be determined.
Fans who have tickets for tonight's game should hold on to those tickets as they will be valid for the subsequent makeup game.
In addition, tonight's originally scheduled Hall of Fame induction ceremonies for Chuck Finley and Brian Downing and the accompanying Hall of Fame Plaque giveaway have also been postponed. Both the ceremony and the plaque promotion will take place prior to the rescheduled game.
An announcement of the rescheduled game date and start time will be posted at a later date.
Angels General Manager Tony Reagins issued the following statement on behalf of the club: "The Angels family has suffered a tremendous loss today. We are deeply saddened and shocked by this tragic loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Nick's family, friends' loved ones and fans."
