Dorrell Suspends Kicker Medlock

UCLA kicker Justin Medlock, far left, was suspended indefinitely by coach Karl Dorrell after he was arrested early Saturday morning in an alcohol-related accident. He will not play in the Dec. 30 Sun Bowl against Northwestern. If there is any good news out of this it is that Hannah Jun, a member of the Bruin women's golf team and passenger in Medlock's vehicle, did not require surgery being injured in the accident. She is expected to make a full recovery, according to UCLA officials. We have links from the Los Angeles Times, Daily News and Daily Bruin.

This is a tragic case of a young guy making a very stupid decision. Although he obviously panicked, he should have NEVER, EVER left the accident scene, especially leaving behind an injured woman. Really stupid but others have done the same (Kennedy, Chappaquiddick comes to mind). They should teach mishap decision-making in schools because parents don't seem to be teaching it at home.

The Daily Bruin did an exceptional job on the breaking news story, far better than the LA Times Sunday piece. What has happened to the Times?
