SAN DIEGO — Blake Snell’s vehicle was struck by a suspected drunken driver Thursday night on the side of Interstate 5 after a San Diego police officer had stopped Snell for an alleged traffic violation, authorities said.
The Padres confirmed that Snell, who is slated to start Friday night against the Washington Nationals, was involved in a minor crash during a traffic stop.
The left-hander was evaluated by the Padres’ medical team Friday and has been cleared to take the mound.
