Nick Adenhart: A Victim of Somebody Else's Stupid Decision

The sudden death of Nick Adenhart is heartbreaking and makes no sense.

Here's a guy who had just made his fourth major league start and was possibly destined for greatness.

However things unexpectedly took a turn for the worse.

On Apr. 9, 2009, Andrew Thomas Gallo, 22 decided to get behind the wheel of a car with a blood alcohol limit that was well over the legal limit it at the time.

Andrew Thomas Gallo was a man who had not learned from his previous mistakes. At the time he was driving with a suspended license because of a previous drunken driving conviction.

Unfortunately it was Nick Adenhart who would pay for Gallo's stupid decision.

At 12:30 AM, the minivan driven by Gallo ran a red light and hit the silver Mitsubishi Eclipse in an intersection, this was the car that had Nick Adenhart as a passenger in it.

The sudden impact caused both vehicles to spin around, and one then struck another car but that driver was not hurt.

Gallo fled the crash on foot and was captured about 30 minutes later.

Nick Adenhart was doing nothing wrong when his life was taken so suddenly and abrupt.

Nick Adenhart was only 22 and a young man that had his whole life ahead of him.

In the world we live, hardly ever is there a person who's misfortunes in life are not his fault. Nick was in a car that was hit by somebody who had too much to drink.

In no way was that any of his fault.
