Over at the Herald Sun, Duke beat writer Bryan Strickland provides an informative account of what exactly happened when Mike Krzyzewski found himself in a minor car accident last week. Turns out, the word "minor" may have been an understatement: Trying to make a U-turn, Krzyzewski flipped his car and was suspended upside down in a ditch. Strapped in by a seatbelt, he pulled out his cell phone, called his wife, Mickie, and she helped him out of his car.
"It was that day we had so much rain--there's like an eight- to 10-foot ditch that water runs through, and my car just slid and I had no control over it. It flipped over," Krzyzewski said. "It went slow, and as it was it flipped. So I was upside-down in my seat belt. Thank God I used my seat belt."
Krzyzewski escaped unscathed--he said he's a little sore, but it's nothing serious--although he did watch most of that day's practice from a spot on the bench.
