Joe Monty, a starting defensive end for the University of Wisconsin football team, sustained facial fractures and other injuries early today when he slammed into the back of a car with his moped.
Monty, a fifth-year senior from Fort Collins, Colo., sustained “numerous facial fractures,” head trauma and lacerations to his face and legs, according to Madison police spokesman Mike Hanson. His injuries were not considered life-threatening, Hanson said.
….It appeared Monty had been drinking before the crash and will likely face a drunken driving citation, Hanson said.
