Ryan faces six misdemeanor charges including leaving the scene of an accident and failure to obey a traffic control signal.

Story summary

Former NFL coach Rex Ryan turned himself in on November 9, 2026, after allegedly hitting two pedestrians with his truck and leaving the scene in downtown Nashville. The incident occurred around midnight last Thursday when Ryan made a right turn on a red light, running over the feet of both pedestrians who had the right of way while crossing at a walk signal. Both victims sustained minor injuries but managed to photograph the license plate of Ryan's vehicle.

Ryan, 63, was charged with two counts each of leaving the scene of an accident, failure to provide information or render aid, and failing to obey traffic signals, all classified as misdemeanors. He is scheduled to appear in court next month. Since retiring from coaching roles with the New York Jets (2009-2014) and Buffalo Bills (2015-2016), Ryan has worked for ESPN as an NFL analyst.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
