NFL free agent Donte' Stallworth was hospitalized Saturday with serious burns after the hot air ballon carrying him and two others crashed into power lines, his agent told ESPN. The 10-year NFL veteran did not suffer any permanent damage from the accident in Homestead and is in stable condition, Drew Rosenhaus, Stallworth's agent, said.
"He's going to be OK. He has some burns, but he's going to be fine," Rosenhaus said. "He will be able to continue his NFL career. The injuries are not to the extent they will jeopardize his career."
The basket carrying Stallworth and the other passengers crashed into the power lines while airborne, according to Miami-Dade Police spokesman Roy Rutland.
The other passengers were injured and taken to a trauma center, Rutland said. A third passenger left the accident uninjured. A source close to Stallworth told ESPNBoston.com's Mike Reiss that one passenger, Stallworth's girlfriend, was injured in the accident but is in stable condition.
