Two University of Florida football players are OK after an auto accident Sunday afternoon, according to reports.
Junior starting right guard Jon Halapio and redshirt junior backup defensive lineman Earl Okine were involved in what was described as a minor accident on Interstate 10 in Madison County, Fla. Tallahassee television station WCTV reported that the vehicle the two players were traveling in "swerved off the road and into a median." The car hit a few small trees and bushes, according to the report.
The Gainesville Sun reported that state police cited Halapio for careless driving.
Halapio's girlfriend, who was described by the Orlando Sentinel as a Florida State student Halapio was visiting in Tallahassee, tweeted that one of the car's tires "popped," causing the accident. The Sun reported that Halapio was distracted while negotiating a water jug and lost control of the vehicle.
"God is so good. So blessed to be alive," Halapio said via his Twitter account Sunday night.
University spokesman Steve McClain said Halapio and Okine were not injured and did not require medical attention. Both players were expected to practice Monday.
