Sad story reported by The Charlotte Observer:
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry was injured after coming out of the back of a pickup truck during a domestic dispute in north Charlotte.
Officers were called out to Oakdale Road near I-485 and Statesville Road just before noon in reference to a person down. When officers arrived, they found Henry in the road, with life-threatening injuries.
Paramedics transported Henry to Carolinas Medical Center, where he is being treated, according to police.
Police say Henry was involved in a "domestic situation" with his fiancee at 840 Peachtree Road. His fiancee, who was not named in a press release, got into a pickup truck and drove away from the home. As she was driving, police say, Henry jumped into the bed of the truck.
The domestic dispute continued between the driver of the truck and Henry. At some point, Henry came out of the back of the vehicle.
He was found by police about half a mile from the house in question.
A team spokesman confirmed that the parents of Henry's fiancee live in Charlotte, though it's unclear if he was visiting them.
Henry, No. 15 on the Bengals, is in his fifth season with the team and is known for his speed and athletic ability but also his troubles off the field.
He had frequent discipline issues, including four arrests in a seven-month span in 2006.
In five seasons, he's caught 119 passes for 1,826 yard and 21 touchdowns.
He has been on injured reserve since dislocating his forearm Nov. 9.
