N/A Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2014/09/23/students-say-rob-bironas-chased-threatened/16096649/?sf31485046=%5B%271%27%5D 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 callSaturday 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."

He was probably smoking marijuana, it makes you into a homicidal maniac as these kids are describing Bironas to be. I saw this in a documentary. It was called Reefer Madness - do I have to put a smiley face on this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
