Earlier this month, Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline was involved in an ATV crash and we are now receiving footage of the incident after a deputy arrived on the scene.
Hartline was released from the hospital on Monday. Hartline admitted that he was drinking prior to the crash, according to a police report obtained by the Columbus Dispatch.
Officers detected the smell of alcohol while he was in the hospital at Riverside Methodist Hospital, and an investigation is ongoing to determine if any charges should be filed.
“I appreciate everyone’s support,” tweeted Hartline tweeted on Sunday. “I crashed my side-by-side on my property and have been taken to the hospital for further evaluation. I am doing well.”
