Matt Bush Charged After DWI Crash in Texas

Matt Bush, a former Texas Rangers pitcher, was arrested in Arlington, Texas, on multiple charges including DWI, evading arrest, and causing an accident with injuries after he crashed his vehicle while allegedly intoxicated. Police attempted to pull him over for erratic driving, but he fled and subsequently ran a red light, colliding with several cars. Witnesses detained him after he attempted to escape on foot following the crash. Both Bush and another driver were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, while he refused sobriety tests and is awaiting blood test results. This incident marks a troubling continuation of Bush's history with alcohol-related offenses, including previous DUI incidents and a lengthy prison sentence for a crash that severely injured a motorcyclist in 2012. Bush's recent career had seen him return to baseball after years of struggle, but this event casts a shadow over his efforts to rehabilitate his image.
