Rex Ryan charged with striking pedestrians on Broadway

Rex Ryan surrendered Wednesday morning on six outstanding warrants, according to WKRN News 2, following an incident on Nashville's Broadway that police say left two pedestrians struck by his pickup truck.

Reporting from downtown Nashville, Alexia Tsiropoulos says the incident happened around midnight the previous Thursday at Fourth Avenue and Broadway. Police say the truck ran over the pedestrians' feet before Ryan drove away.

The charges include leaving the scene of an accident. A judicial commissioner set Ryan's bond at $6,000, the station reports. The charges are accusations, not findings of guilt.

Ryan is familiar to football audiences as a former head coach of the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills and as an ESPN analyst. WKRN's brief report pairs the account from Broadway with his mugshot and archival coaching photographs.

The Short drew about 130,000 views in its first eleven hours, far beyond the station's usual first-day audience for that format. WKRN followed it with another report on Thursday titled "Former NFL coach accused of hitting pedestrians," continuing its coverage of Ryan's surrender.
