Clemson playerin fatal lake accident
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Clemson offensive lineman Roman Fry was driving the personal watercraft that struck and killed the school's assistant track coach last weekend.
The state Natural Resources Department says alcohol was not thought to be a contributing factor in the accident on Lake Keowee, where 32-year-old Jarrett Foster died from head injuries Saturday.
Fry underwent and passed several field sobriety tests, said his attorney, Beattie Ashmore.
Fry has not been charged, said Lt. Robert McCullough of the Natural Resources Department. However, McCullough added that the agency is continuing to investigate.
Ashmore said Fry is cooperating with authorities and that the football player planned to talk with investigators again as early as Wednesday
McCullough said Foster was on the watercraft with someone else when it flipped. McCullough said the second watercraft, driven by Fry, then struck Foster in the back of the head.
The others involved though Foster was faking, Ashmore said. Moments later, they realized he was hurt and called 911.
Kendrick tops Spadeaat Hall of Fame
NEWPORT, R.I. -- Robert Kendrick followed up a fine Wimbledon performance by beating fifth-seeded Vince Spadea, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 at the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships Monday.
Kendrick, a wild card entrant who missed nearly eight months after right wrist surgery last July, used a powerful serve against Spadea and showed the form that gave Wimbledon runner-up Rafael Nadal a scare in a second-round match.
Kendrick won the first two sets against Nadal two weeks ago before losing to the No. 2 player in the world.
