Photos of Rex Ryan’s alleged hit-and-run victim’s injuries emerge
The woman who was allegedly struck by Rex Ryan’s truck last week had what appeared to be scratches and black marks on her leg in the immediate aftermath of the incident, photos obtained by the California Post show.
The pictures were allegedly snapped shortly after Michael Holland said Ryan barreled into him and his wife while the two were attempting to cross Nashville’s famed Broadway street just before midnight on Nov. 5.
Holland said he and his spouse got a few feet into the crosswalk after they were given a green walk signal when Ryan plowed into them with his pickup truck.
“He decided he wanted to turn and didn’t care,” Holland said, “and just ran over both of my feet, my wife’s foot and got her leg too.”
Holland stated they were able to catch up with Ryan after he got stuck in traffic just up the roadway, but he offered no apology for his behavior and left the scene after briefly getting out of his vehicle to confront the couple.
“He was told in no uncertain terms what he had done,” Holland said, “and instead of staying at the scene or even saying, ‘Sorry,’ he just got back in his vehicle and took off.”
Holland stated in addition to the scrapes on her leg, his wife “lost one of her toenails” in the aftermath and added that he’s expecting to “lose a couple” toenails too.
“He got us good,” Holland said of the former New York Jets head coach. “That’s an over-6,000-pound vehicle that ran over your feet. It doesn’t feel good.”
Holland later told The Post he’s anticipating going in for X-rays on his feet on Saturday.
Authorities were called to the scene and after speaking with the alleged victims and reviewing surveillance video of the incident, six misdemeanor warrants charging Ryan with multiple crimes — including leaving the scene of an accident and failure to give information/render aid — were filed, according to a County of Davidson affidavit.
Ryan turned himself in to law enforcement on Wednesday and was released on $6,000 bond a short time later. He’s slated to appear in court for his first hearing in the case on Dec. 18.
When asked for comment on Holland’s claims on Friday, Ryan’s attorney, David Raybin, told The Post, “I appreciate you calling me about this but I don’t have any comment on the allegations.”
