US Men's Soccer Player Hurt in Crash

U.S. Men's National Soccer Team forward Charlie Davies was among three people hurt in a serious accident that happened early Tuesday morning in the D.C. area.

U.S. Park Police say one car was involved in the serious crash, which happened around 3:15 a.m. in the southbound lanes of the George Washington Parkway at Boundary Channel Drive, south of the Memorial Bridge.

Police say one person -- 22-year-old Ashley Roberta of Phoenix, Maryland -- was killed in the accident. Two others were hurt. There's no word yet on what caused the crash.

Davies underwent several hours of surgery Tuesday at Washington Hospital Center Medstar, where he is listed in serious but stable condition.

Davis broke two bones in his right leg and also sustained facial fractures and a fracture in his left elbow. A U.S. Soccer team doctor says such injuries "usually require a recovery period of six to 12 months," making it unlikely Davis will be able to play in next summer's World Cup.

The U.S. Men's National Soccer Team is scheduled to play Costa Rica at RFK Stadium on Wednesday night.

Davies, 23, is from Manchester, N.H., according to U.S. Soccer's website .
