O.J.'s Girlfriend Hit By Car, Badly Hurt

(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.

Fortunately, her "airbags" deployed and saved her from more serious injury.

She has a dog? This is the selfish hag who let her cat starve to death in her apartment while she was out getting her jollies with OJ. I hope the dog finds a good home. I can’t say I really care what happens to OJ’s girlfriend.

Honestly, why would anyone date OJ? It’s just proof that for every idiot in the world, there is someone stupider who wants to date them.
