Matt Bush Arrested for DUI After Texas Crash

Matt Bush, the former MLB pitcher and 2004 No. 1 overall draft pick, was arrested in Arlington, Texas after allegedly fleeing a multi-car accident while intoxicated. Bush was driving erratically and after a police attempt to stop him, he ran a red light, crashing into several vehicles, including a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado. Witnesses detained him until police arrived, and although Bush refused a sobriety test, a blood sample was taken with a reported blood alcohol level of 0.18. This arrest is part of a long history of alcohol-related legal issues for Bush, who previously served prison time for a similar offense in Florida. He has been charged with driving while intoxicated, evading arrest, and causing an accident with injury, with bail set at $35,000. Bush's continued struggles with substance abuse have overshadowed his once-promising baseball career.
