Wright Thompson should count his blessings this Memorial Day Weekend as ESPN’s noted long-form writer was reportedly involved in a serious car accident recently that could have been much worse judging by the damage done to the vehicle he was in.
Thompson’s accident is said to have been in Athens, but according to Chris Vernon of The Ringer, the ESPN writer is going to be okay.
Vernon shared a photo of the accident below, showing the front of a wrecked Mini Cooper.
He is no longer on twitter, but I know many of you know my buddy Wright Thompson of ESPN. This happened this morning. Insanely scary but happy that he is ok. pic.twitter.com/mAE2a1rjWw

Apparently, the Mini Cooper was hit by a much larger vehicle:
