(CBS) O.J. Simpson's girlfriend, who had been hospitalized in February after a fall, was back in the hospital, this time with two broken legs and other serious injuries, CBS4 in Miami reported.
Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Pat Santangelo said Christie Prody was injured early Saturday morning on the Don Shula Expressway near Miller Drive after she pulled over to an emergency lane because she had two flat tires on her 2-door Mitsubishi.
Police say she rode on the flat tires for quite a distance because one of the tires was completely shredded and the other had come off the rim completely.
For an unknown reason, Prody, 32, got out of her car and tried to cross the highway. Santangelo says she nearly made it across but about two thirds of the way, she was hit by an oncoming car. Her head and arms went through that car's windshield and she landed inside the vehicle with her legs sticking out. The driver stopped and called 911 immediately.
She was airlifted to Ryder Trauma Center at Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital where Santangelo says she was still being treated Wednesday for broken legs and other serious injuries.
Santangelo says Prody was cited for "being a pedestrian on an expressway" which is against the law.
Troopers found an empty bottle of Smirnoff vodka on her front seat. While toxicology reports are not back, police say she won't be charged with DUI because she was not at the wheel of the vehicle when the crash occurred.
A responding officer also found her pet dog, a Shitzu, in the vehicle after the crash. The dog was taken to a safe shelter until her family could pick it up.
In February, Prody was hospitalized with a severe head injury after she slipped and fell at a Miami gas station.
He is searching every strip club,casino and gold course on earth!
Oh no!
Does this mean that O - the knife - J has to take time off of searching for Nichole’s killer??
Very bad karma to be hooked up with OJ.
She was not in the car. She became part of the car.
Yeah, that one was a gimme......I’m suprised it took 12 posts.
Whatever pea sized brain she has is trapped in those overgrown watermelons.
Such a poor girl.
How dumb do you have to be to think it’s a good idea to be “O.J. Simpson’s girlfriend”?
What’s with the tan lines? If she’s wearing a top that small, why even bother?
was it a white bronco?
LOL
She sure has had a run of bad luck, concidence?
Since she hooked up with OJ, she is in the news a lot more for physical reason than any other,, quite a run.
riding on 2 rims sounds like she was running from someone. odds of getting 2 flats at one time ????
Just this slow, white one...
How about PUBLIC INTOXICATION?
And how many drivers who crashed (and were only seen after the car had STOPPED were charged with intoxication?).
Shouldn't an open container be enough to levy a charge?
If you're drunk and hit a couple curbs, pretty good.
OJ’s defintion of a woman-”A life support system for a vagina”
Oh yeah. He’s got a “type” for sure.
wow, she kinda looks like Nicole....
