Two members of the Backstreet Boys were involved in a three-vehicle
accident Monday night in Lexington, Kentucky.
Upon leaving a charity golf tournament at the University of Kentucky,
a car in which A.J. McLean and Brian Littrell were passengers was
sideswiped by a car that had been struck by another car. According to
Lexington police, who described the incident as a "very simple fender
bender," the Toyota Camry driven by Littrell's mother, Jackie, and
containing McLean, Littrell, Littrell's wife, Leighanne, and their
son, Baylee, was stopped at a light on Leestown Road. As they
proceeded into the intersection, the car beside them was struck by
another vehicle attempting a left turn, causing their Camry to be hit
as well.
Only minor injuries such as soreness were reported, and damage to all
three vehicles was minor. The other vehicles had flat tires, while
the Camry's front bumper suffered some damage, Sgt. Rick Curtis said,
but not enough to set off air bags.
"[A.J.] banged up his knee a bit but said all were fine," A.J.'s
mother, Denise McLean, said. "He said he had just put his seatbelt on
seconds before the Escalade hit them, and said it could have been
much worse if Brian's mom had not turned the wheel to miss the truck
head on. He was pretty shaken by it all since he has never been in an
accident like that before. But he's doing fine."
The charity tournament they had attended, "Golfing With Brian!," was
the second annual fundraising event for Saint Joseph's Hospital and
the Brian Littrell Healthy Heart Club for Kids.
