Patriots rookie Harvey Langi suffered neck and head injuries in the three-car motor vehicle accident he was involved in Friday night in Foxborough, according to a report in the Deseret News of Salt Lake City.
Langi’s wife, Cassidy, fractured both her hips, suffered broken ribs, and was being evaluated for internal bleeding, according to her father, Rick Wahlin.
“They are torn up but very lucky to be alive,’’ Wahlin told the Deseret News. “All Harvey has cared about is how Cassie is doing, that’s been his biggest concern, and we are grateful for him and all the prayers that have been directed toward our families.’’
Patriots coach Bill Belichick opened his postgame news conference after Sunday’s victory over the Jets by addressing the accident.
“Just wanted to, on behalf of the team, express the thoughts and prayers that are with Harvey and Cassidy Langi,’’ said the coach. “We pray that they’re being looked over and that they’re doing better. It sounds like they are, but that was a very unfortunate situation and one that I think shook everybody in the organization.’’
Langi, who is from Utah, played at Brigham Young University.
