NFL reporter Tom Pelissero confirmed that Garrett had been “discharged from the hospital” in the early hours of Tuesday.
“More tests coming,” Pelissero tweeted at the time. “The good news is Garrett’s injuries aren’t life-threatening. He overcorrected and swerved in an attempt to avoid an animal on a slippery road. Multiple times, the car flipped. Could’ve been worse.”
Medina County resident Nick MandilakisTelled 3News on Tuesday, “It is a fast road, it’s 45, but here there is a slowdown, you should be at 25 going through this hill.”
Mandilakis revealed that the road had been repaved in August. The rain likely contributed to the slickness. He said that drivers often fly by while exceeding the speed limit.
“Last year we had an accident, an Expedition flipped over in the ditch, nearly about the same spot as this accident over a mail truck actually,” Mandilakis told 3News. “Just because it is a rural road doesn’t mean that it’s a racetrack. So people do need to slow down and be cautious that they’re driving in a neighborhood too.”
