    Marv Albert, Mike Fratello hurt in limo wreck

    Associated Press

    TRENTON, N.J. - Sportscasters Marv Albert and Mike Fratello were injured early today when their
    limousine hit a stalled truck, police said.

    Details about the crash were not immediately available from officials, but Philadelphia radio station
    KYW-AM quoted state police as saying the accident happened on Interstate 295 in Hamilton
    Township.

    The limousine hit a disabled delivery truck in a southbound lane around 3 a.m., the station quoted
    police as saying.

    The limo driver and the operator of the other car were not injured, police told the station.

    The two NBC basketball announcers were taken to the Helene Fuld Medical Center in Trenton, where
    a nursing supervisor told The Associated Press that both men were being evaluated and were in
    stable condition. The supervisor hung up without giving his name.

    Fratello, who coached the NBA's Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers, was hired by NBC in
    October. He was coach of the year in 1986 with the Hawks. Albert was rehired by NBC in 1999, less
    than two years after he was fired over a sex scandal.

    Albert had been fired in September 1997 after pleading guilty to biting a woman during a sexual
    encounter in a Virginia hotel room. He received no jail time, and the assault conviction was erased
    from his record after he stayed out of trouble for a year.

    Marv was probably biting the driver and he lost control of the limo.
