NFL star Mark Andrews involved in CAR CRASH as he drove to practice

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews was in a car accident while driving to the team's facility early Wednesday.

As the team revealed online, Andrews was checked over by doctors and appears to be in good shape. In fact, he was able to attend morning meetings at training camp with his teammates.

'Mark Andrews was involved in a car accident while driving to the Under Armour Performance Center early Wednesday morning,' read the team statement. 'Andrews was evaluated by medical staff at the Ravens' training facility and did not sustain any apparent injuries. He later joined the team for morning meetings.

'Mark was originally scheduled for a non-practice day on Wednesday and is expected to return to practice in the coming days.'

Andrews has released his own statement as well: 'I appreciate everyone's thought and well wishes. This is a great reminder about the importance c wearing seatbelts and remaining alert while driving a car.' 

The 27-year-old Oklahoma product is a three-time Pro Bowl selection who has overcome Type 1 diabetes to become one of the NFL’s top tight ends.

Andrews has had a busy offseason.

Back in February, he helped a woman suffering a medical emergency aboard a flight from Baltimore to his native Phoenix. 

A fellow passenger on the flight said a doctor and nurse were assisting the woman, who was having trouble breathing and had a weak pulse, when Andrews spoke up to ask whether she could be experiencing a blood sugar problem.

"A man in the aisle seat popped up, 'Could it be her blood sugar? I have a diabetic testing kit.' It was Ravens (tight end) Mark Andrews," the passenger wrote on X, adding that he then showed the doctor and nurse how to use it.

The passenger later told CNN that the medical staff gave the woman some juice and she began to recover.

Andrews later confirmed the story in a team statement.

"In addition to the fast-acting flight attendants, the real heroes are the nurse and doctor whose also happened to be on the plane," he said.

"Thankfully they were able to provide the woman the quick assistance she needed."

Andrews had his own scare with diabetes when he was a freshman at Oklahoma, the team said.

A roommate found him unresponsive due to hypoglycemia, caused by very low blood sugar, and helped save his life by shoving fruit snacks in his mouth before paramedics arrived. He is an outspoken advocate for those with diabetes.
