A serious car crash sent two Oklahoma State athletes to the hospital.
According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, at about 8 p.m., at the intersection of Highway 33 and a hill, Ferrari attempted to pass three vehicles while cresting a hill, while Rodriguez was his passenger.
The cause of the collision was listed as passing in a no-passing zone.
According to the report, the other driver, Valenda McKee, 56, of Ripley, Oklahoma, was not injured. The OHP said all drivers wore seat belts.
The NCAA champion in the 197-pound weight class was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Oklahoma City, where he was listed in fair condition.
A helicopter was used to transport Rodriguez to a hospital in Oklahoma. He was listed in fair condition with a number of injuries.
Oklahoma State track coach Dave Smith said Rodriguez was healing.
Smiith said that he seemed to be in good spirits and that he was about to be released. They had to keep him overnight because they were running a few tests. He is going to come out of this okay.
The two athletes were returning to Oklahoma State after a wrestling practice.
According to a report by the Pokes Report, a source said that the football coach was able to pull the driver out of the SUV after it caught on fire.
The car that was hit was about 10 to 15 yards off the road. There was a small fire on the hood of the car, and two men tried to open all the doors to get into the car to save it.
The witnesses said that the two men entered the back of the SUV through the broken window. They pulled him out of the back window. The car was on fire after he was removed.

Oklahoma State wrestling coach John Smith praised the man who helped to free the man from the wreck.
He said that he was glad that the coach was there to help.
He said that Dunn was rattled by the experience.
He said that you could hear it in his voice. When you have another coach telling you that and you know him well, you just hope and pray for the best. I am glad he was there.
