Quick Summary

During a college football game between Cincinnati and West Virginia, Cincinnati player Josh Hough suffered a lower-leg injury. As he was transported on a medical cart off the field by a West Virginia staff member, the cart crashed into a wall. Although it’s unclear if this accident exacerbated his injury, Hough did not return to play after the incident. The article humorously criticizes the driving skills required for navigating medical carts in high-pressure game situations but notes that severe accidents can happen under such circumstances.

Narrative

Having said that, I haven't gone through it myself, but I have to assume that item numero uno on the agenda at medical cart driving school is "Do not crash into a wall if there is an injured player on board, especially if they're the first thing that hits said wall."
