BREAKING: Legendary olympian Michael Phelps, who won 8 gold medals at the Beijing Olympics was in a car accident in the Mount Vernon area of Baltimore at about 9:00 PM. Apparently, alcohol was not involved, Phelps was not injured, and the other driver, an unidentified female was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons. In November 2004, Phelps was sentenced to 18 months of probation for a DUI, so sketchy driving is nothing new. It isn’t clear whether any error in driving was made by either driver, but it now sounds like the crash isn’t as serious as I first understood it to be.
Phelps continues to live in the Baltimore area, and is building a new pool in Northwest Baltimore with the aid of his trainer Bob Bowman. His mother Debbie is a principal at Windsor Mill Middle School in Baltimore County, and he plans to participate in the 2012 London Olympics if everything goes according to plan, which with the bong incident, and now this, hasn’t happened.

He’s lucky he wasn’t seriously injured.
Yeah, only a “sore ankle”
