The U.S. national team’s World Cup qualifying celebration took a very somber turn on Tuesday morning when it learned that Charlie Davies, the Boston College product who has established himself as a first-choice forward this year, was involved in a serious car accident near the team’s Arlington, Va., hotel.
He was in surgery throughout the afternoon for injuries that U.S. Soccer described as “serious” but “not life-threatening.” Davies reportedly was one of three people involved in the single-car accident, which killed 22-year-old Ashley J. Roberta. It was unclear whether Davies was the driver or a passenger, or whether he had permission to be out when the crash occurred at about 3 AM ET.
