Driver With Cowboy Hat Seen Fleeing Scene

New York – NYC Transit Authority officials had no explanation why the bus involved in Saturday’s head-on collision with ex-Roger Clemens trainer Brian McNamee’s Lexus in Queens, NY had Texas plates. 

 

“It’s pretty darn odd,” said a TA spokesman, “I’ll grant you that.”

 

Moments after the mid-day accident in the city’s Far Rockaway neighborhood, one eyewitness reported seeing a “red-haired guy in a cowboy hat” fleeing the scene. “I didn’t know you could run that fast in boots,” said the eyewitness, Joey Lompoc, 23, of Flushing, NY.

 

Before getting in a cab, a shaken McNamee, who refused medical treatment, expressed hope that his Lexus “wouldn’t get run over by any other big vehicles in the future.”

Reached in Houston, where he was hosting a barbecue to raise money for his Little League team, the Junior Juicers, Roger Clemens expressed surprise at the incident. “I always thought Brian was an excellent driver,” Clemens said. “Was it raining by any chance?”
