More Details On Coach K's Car Accident Emerge

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.
