PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Pete Alonso feels lucky to be alive after getting into a brutal car crash in Tampa on the way to spring training on Sunday.
“Yesterday was a really close experience to death,” said Alonso, who was visibly shaken-up on Monday.
Alonso’s car flipped over “probably three times,” he said, after another driver ran through a red light and t-boned his Ford pickup truck. Alonso’s wife, Haley, and their dogs were in a separate car right behind Alonso. He was forced to kick through the car windshield, while the truck was turned on its side, to get out.
