Two UF lacrosse players were involved in a scooter accident Friday afternoon.
According to a team spokesman for the lacrosse program, Colby Rhea and Ashley Bruns were driving a scooter near The Estates apartment complex when they crashed into a car at the corner of Southwest 34th Street and Southwest 20th Avenue between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.
According to a source close to the program, Rhea suffered severe facial injuries that required stitches.
The team spokesman said Bruns was not seriously hurt in the accident but did not know the extent of Rheaís injuries.
A separate source close to the situation said that Rhea had to be taken from the scene in an ambulance.
Rhea, a junior midfielder from Abingdon, Md., appeared in 19 games for the Gators in 2011, scoring 15 goals and recording three assists.
Bruns, a junior attacker and native of Ellicott City, Md., was the Gators' second-leading scorer with 46 goals and 28 assists.
She was also a 2011 All-ALC First Team selection.
