Too young -- I read another report that said no alcohol or drugs as a factor. I also read Bradshaw will be MIA on FOX today as he is going to be with his daughter.

Yukon Denali? Not exactly the type of ride to whip around the curves. Make better decisions, bro.

That certainly is sad though.

Most car accidents happen within five miles of your home.

You know why that is?

Because you do most of your driving within five miles of your home.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A police report reveals the wife of former Titans kicker Rob Bironas called Metro Nashville police to report her husband missing Saturday night.

Rachel Bradshaw contacted police just after 10:30 p.m.

She told them she had been watching a movie with her husband and a female friend during the evening.

Bradshaw told police Bironas told her ‘goodnight’ around 10:30 p.m. and left the room. She assumed he was going to bed.

After a few moments, she went to find him. Bradshaw said she searched their home and Bironas was not there.

Rachel Bradshaw then tried to call him numerous times with no answer. She then called relatives and no one had heard from him. That’s when Bradshaw called police.

Bradshaw told police Brionas was not intoxicated. She did state he had a beer earlier in the evening.

She told officers they had not been fighting and it was highly unusual behavior for him to leave without telling her.

Rob Bironas was killed in a crash on Battery Lane, not far from the couple's home, around 11 p.m.

The 911 calls made following the deadly accident were released Monday.

Several people who live along Battery Lane came out of their homes, moments after the crash, and called for help.

"We can't see him, we're all out here trying to help him. Someone's going up to the car right now," a caller said. "Ok, I'm going to stay on the line with you, okay. I'm sending the paramedics now," the dispatcher told her. "Okay, thank you," the caller replied.

One of the calls recorded reported an erratic driver in the area of Battery Lane just minutes before Bironas crash.

"If it's a white Tahoe, he tried to run my husband, and I, off the road," another witness told a police dispatcher.

The woman told police she, and her husband, were traveling south on Franklin Pike when the driver of a white SUV nearly hit them.

When the vehicles came to a stop at the intersection of Franklin Pike and Battery Lane, the woman said the driver of the SUV was revving his engine as he sat behind them.

When the couple turned onto Battery Lane, they pulled over to let the SUV pass them. She said the the driver stopped next to their vehicle, and made a strange face at them.

The driver then took off on Battery Lane. A few minutes later the couple came across the site where Bironas had crashed his white SUV.

The woman talked to 911, while her husband went to the crash site.

“He tried to run my husband and I off the road. We pulled over and he looked at us. We don’t even know him and he sped off. My husband got out and said, "What is your problem?'” the caller told the 911 dispatcher.

Metro police say at this point, there's no evidence that drugs or alcohol were involved, but toxicology tests are pending.

Story getting weirder...Bradshaw reported him as missing, and some Belmont students say he tried to run them off of the road, too.

This is one of the weirdest stories I've heard of in a long time. He had to be on something.

Quote:
Two Belmont students say former Titans kicker Rob Bironas threatened to kill them and sideswipe the truck they were in before confronting a man and woman in another car and trying to run their vehicle off the road Saturday night. Minutes later, Bironas lost control of his SUV and died in a one-car crash.

Connor Fraley, a 20-year-old student, said he was a passenger in a pickup truck that Bironas tried to hit on Franklin Road during a high-speed chase, after Bironas made threatening comments at an intersection minutes earlier.

The allegations surfaced less than a day after another woman told police in a 911 call Saturday night that the popular Titans kicker tried to run her vehicle off the road just before crashing himself.

Bironas lost control of his SUV and hit several trees before ending up in a drainage culvert on Battery Lane, upside down. Bironas, who played nine seasons with the Titans, was 36.

A Metro police spokesman on Monday said the investigation into the fatal crash is "ongoing."

Early Tuesday, Fraley detailed a frightening encounter he and three other Belmont students had with Bironas around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, shortly after Bironas' wife called police to report him missing. The incident took place at the intersection of Battery Lane and Franklin Road, not far from where Bironas would later perish.

Fraley said he was a passenger in a vehicle driving behind Bironas' white SUV on Battery Lane when he and others in the truck noticed a burning smell coming from Bironas' vehicle.

"His window was down, and we pulled up and I said, "Hey man, just a heads up, something's burning from your exhaust. Your exhaust smells horrible, just wanted to let you know,'' Fraley recalled telling Bironas. "He looked over at me and said "I'm going to kill everybody in your (expletive) vehicle. It was so random, so bizarre I was like, "What?" And he said the exact same thing again."

Fraley said the Ford F-150 he was a passenger in turned left on Franklin Road, and Bironas followed them. Another Belmont student was driving the truck, Fraley was in the front seat and two female students were in the back seat. Fraley said they sped up to get away, but Bironas sped after them.

At one point, near the Thompson Lane overpass, "he tried to sideswipe the vehicle and missed us by a foot."

"The girls in the back seat were starting to freak out because he was swerving on the road in between lanes, all over the place.'' Fraley said. "We had no idea who he was and why he was trying to harm us. It was a fight or flight situation and, unfortunately, we had to take flight at about 110 miles per hour. It was very scary."

Fraley said he called police and talked to a 911 dispatcher for nearly the length of the incident, before the students managed to lose Bironas following a dangerous chase that continued on residential side streets. The students lost Bironas near Acklen Avenue, near Wedgewood. The students met with police officers later Saturday night on the Belmont campus. The driver of the vehicle gave an identical account to The Tennessean, but would only identify himself as "Spencer." Later, the students found out a white SUV crashed on Battery Lane, and the driver was killed.

The next morning, Fraley said his roommate texted him a photo of Bironas. He said he contacted a police dispatcher again on Sunday morning but was hung up on.

"As soon as I saw that face,'' he said. "I know for a fact that it was Rob Bironas in that vehicle chasing us."

Fraley said he got chills when he heard the 911 call from another woman who told police Saturday evening the white SUV tried to run her and her husband off the road after a road rage incident in the same area.

According to Metro police spokesman Don Aaron, the driver of the white SUV gave the couple a dirty look after nearly hitting their car while changing lanes on Franklin Road heading south toward Battery Lane. The couple turned right on Battery Lane and pulled to the side of the road, and Bironas pulled up alongside the couple. The husband, who was in the passenger seat of the car, got out to confront Bironas.

At that point, the white SUV accelerated away at a high rate of speed, the couple told police. After pausing a few moments, the couple continued traveling on Battery Lane, and came upon the crash. Bironas was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, but was pronounced dead on arrival.

Early Tuesday, another woman told The Tennessean she witnessed Bironas' confrontation with the couple involved in the 911 call around 11 p.m., as she and her boyfriend were headed to a late movie.

While traveling down Battery Lane toward Franklin Road, Daphne Lauderdale said one car was pulled off the side of the road, and the white SUV was alongside it, partially in the road.

"As we got closer, the white SUV took (off) like a bat out of hell, and passed us,'' Lauderdale, 44, said. "He passed us going very fast. We were like "Holy crap, what was that. It was startling how fast he was going. He was going very, very fast. He was stopped, and he just floored it.'"

Fraley, the Belmont student, said he hasn't slept since the incident.

"I am not trying to soil this guy's reputation or his legacy. I know this community thinks very fondly of him. I am just being honest, and I'm trying to get this off my chest. He tried to kill us. He told us he was going to try and kill us,'' Fraley said.

"I've never gotten a look from somebody like that, I just don't understand it. That's a face that's been in my head the last few days."

The fatal accident happened not too far from Bironas' home.

It came at the end of a night when Rachel Bradshaw, Bironas' wife, called police to report that her husband was missing after leaving around 10:30 p.m.

Bradshaw told police it was unusual behavior for him to leave without telling her. She also told police he was not intoxicated, but that he drank a beer earlier in the evening.

An autopsy on Bironas was conducted on Monday, and the body was released to the funeral home. It could be several weeks before results of a toxicology report are available.

Bironas played for the Titans from 2005-2013 before being released in March. He finished as the Titans' second all-time leading scorer with 1,032 points, and he set a franchise record scoring triple digits in seven straight seasons.

"Something was wrong. He was driving erratic and driving extremely fast in a very dangerous place,'' Lauderdale said. "We got out the next day and walked down the street to the accident site and there were no skid marks, it didn't look like he hit the brakes at all.

"It's a shame. You make one bad decision or choice, and it cost him his life. That's a shame."

If he had any sense of humor during his rampage he would have been yelling "Laces out".

Yeah. If I was just watching a movie with my wife and got up and left, she wouldnt call the cops immediately. A good bet that something went down...

I'd bet someone got caught cheating. They started fighting and he took off pissed as hell. She knew he was going to be a problem so she called the cops.

His dick stuck to a newspaper after he hugged the other girl. His wife then blew a gasket (and subsequently the landscaper).

He was trying to pull off a threesome but couldn't get the job done. He had a beer to qualm his anxiety. It didn't work. He then went on a rampage.
