Angels' pitcher Nick Adenhart was among the three killed in a crash in Fullerton when a driver ran a red light, an associate of the rookie player said this morning. The crash occurred only hours after the 22-year-old appeared in Wednesday night's Angels game.

The accident occurred shortly after midnight at the intersection of Orangethorpe Avenue and Lemon Street in Fullerton, said Lt. Craig Brower of the Fullerton Police Department.

RealGM Note: Adenhart was selected by the Angels in the 14th round of the 2004 MLB Draft. He pitched six scoreless innings on Wednesday evening, just hours before the crash. He struck out five and walked three, while giving up seven hits in the Angels 6-4 loss to Oakland.
