UCF football coach Gus Malzahn was involved in a car crash in Auburn, Alabama, on Monday night, a spokesman from the university’s athletics department confirmed.
Brian Stultz, who covers Auburn for the Rivals network, was first to report the crash in which another man was airlifted in a helicopter. Malzahn was not injured in the incident.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Malzahn was in Auburn with his wife, Kristi, to assist her mother. Kristi’s father, Wesley Otwell, died on March 23, she wrote in a Facebook post.
UCF held its ninth spring practice Tuesday morning. It was closed to the media, though offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey and two players were made available for interviews afterward.
