That vehicle caught fire, and the driver died on the scene. Steen is from Oak Ridge, Tennessee and started his career in the Boston organization in the Gulf Coast League in Fort Myers, Florida before making was way to the Single-A Lowell Spinners. He was in Florida for extended spring training. He is currently at Lee Memorial Hospital, where his condition was unknown. Steen was a 9th round selection by the Boston Red Sox in the 2014 Amatuer Draft. He started his pro career playing for the Gulf Coast League Red Sox in Fort Myers before advancing to the Single-A Lowell Spinners in 2015. “The thoughts and prayers of the entire Red Sox organization are with minor league player Kevin Steen, who sustained serious injuries in a car accident in Florida last night. The club will update his condition at the appropriate time,” the Red Sox said in a statement.

As a Red Sox fan and a human being, I hope for the best for Kevin. As a mod I'm giving LA Times the benefit of the doubt here and just changing the thread title to be less click bait-ish. This could just as easily have gone in the MLB thread or been titled such that it didn't troll wrestling fans.
