Rex Ryan turns himself in to the Nashville police

Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan is facing several charges following a traffic incident in Nashville, Tennessee.

The 63-year-old turned himself in at the police station Wednesday morning to face legal proceedings.

According to the authorities' report, the incident occurred on Thursday, November 5, shortly before midnight. Two pedestrians were crossing the intersection of Broadway and 4th Avenue while the traffic light was green. It was at that moment that the vehicle driven by Ryan allegedly made a right turn and struck the two people.

The victims claim that the truck's wheels ran over their feet. One of them was also reportedly struck in the leg by the vehicle. Fortunately, the injuries reported by the police were minor.

The situation reportedly took an even more alarming turn after the impact. According to witness accounts, the driver continued on his way before coming to a stop at a red light at the intersection of Broadway and Representative John Lewis Way.

The two pedestrians then reportedly tried to confront him. A heated argument reportedly ensued when Ryan got out of his truck, before getting back behind the wheel and driving away. The victims, however, reportedly managed to photograph the vehicle and its license plate, which is registered to the former coach.

Several Charges Filed Against Former NFL Coach

After turning himself in to authorities, Rex Ryan was charged with six offenses, including two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of failing to provide information or render aid, and two counts of failing to obey traffic signals.

A judicial commissioner set his bail at $6,000.

Ryan has extensive experience in the NFL. He coached the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills, with his last head coaching position dating back to 2016. He also contributed to the Baltimore Ravens' success, winning Super Bowl XXXV as a member of the coaching staff.

His record as a head coach stands at 65 wins and 68 losses in the regular season, with four wins in six playoff games.
