Police said they arrested former Houston Oilers quarterback Dan Pastorini on drunk driving charges after he rear-ended a vehicle in Bryan late Sunday while in town for a fundraiser.
The 60-year-old Houston resident was jailed early Monday on a charge of driving while intoxicated.
He attended a dinner for the Boys and Girls Club and was expected to play in a Celebrity Golf Tournament today.
Bryan Officer Jason James said police were dispatched to a wreck in the 3600 block of Texas Avenue just before midnight. A Mercedes was traveling south in the inside lane when it hit the back of a Toyota Tacoma that was in front of it, pushing the Toyota to the left and spinning it completely around and into oncoming traffic, James said.
The Toyota struck the left side of a northbound Ford Explorer, he said.
Pastorini, the driver of the Mercedes, was taken to St. Joseph Regional Health Center with minor injuries. James said no one else was injured.
Blood was drawn from Pastorini, and he was charged with driving while intoxicated and cited for failure to control speed, James said.
The driver of the Toyota was cited for no driver’s license, and the driver of the Ford Explorer was cited for driving while license invalid, he said.
Pastorini was jailed on $3,000 bail.
Pastorini was with the Oilers in the 1970s, then played for the Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles.
