'I'm just sorry it happened' Gamecocks plan no discipline for Watson's car accident
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina running back Derek Watson was not injured after wrecking a car that belonged to a teammate, police say. An officer spotted a car Watson was driving and another vehicle speeding on Interstate 126 about 3:20 a.m. Thursday, Police Chief Charles Austin said. By the time the officer caught up, Watson had wrecked. The Acura Legend belonged to receiver Ted Crawford, of Lithonia, Ga., and sustained damage estimated at $15,000. "I feel really bad for Teddy," Watson said. "He's got to go home and tell his parents I totaled his car. I'm just sorry it happened." Police did not identify the driver of the other car. Watson was charged with driving too fast for conditions and driving with a suspended license, Austin said. The license had been suspended because Watson failed to pay a previous ticket, the chief said. Coach Lou Holtz discussed the accident with Watson Thursday. No disciplinary action was announced. The team doesn't usually take action in car accidents unless the player is intoxicated, offensive coordinator Skip Holtz said. The police report indicated Watson did not appear to be drunk.
