Cam Newton was sitting up and flashed a smile. Should be okay but I don't expect him to play for Panthers this week.

Reported that Cam taken to hospital merely as a precaution. Not seriously injured.

I hope he's alright. That's awful.

 

[Avery]

Glad he wasn't hurt.

Great news

He's smiling in this link. May not mean much since he's always smiling.

 

[DFWJC]

Good. Sounds like he's ok.

Good news.

Good news.

 

[WoodysGirl]

I wonder if the source was the pic of Cam smiling after the accident.

 

[jazzcat22]

No major injuries, from what NFLN said. But not verified.
Said Newton did not want to go the hospital.

He's fine. Looks a lot worse than it is. Could have been pretty ugly the way the roof is caved in. Supposedly he got sideswiped and flipped four times.

No kidding. He has that "fake smile" even after a pretty severe car wreck.

Someone posted a tweet from the Carolina Highway Safety Authority but now it was supposedly a hoax and new reports are saying it is precautionary for being taken to the hospital.

I wonder why he doesn't expect Cam to play seems odds to a guy that sustain no injuries.

Superman was wearing UnderArmor.

I assume he had his seat belt on which could be why he is alive right now. Some people online are being really classless, especially Saints fans.

 

[Alexander]

His truck appears to be heavily modified. Probably contributed to the flipping.

glad he is ok.

Very glad he is ok. Shots of his Pick-Up looked horrible.
