Ohio State offensive coordinator coach Brian Hartline was released from a Columbus-area hospital Monday following an all-terrain vehicle crash Sunday after he had been drinking, according to reports.
According to a Delaware County Sheriff’s Office report, obtained by two newspapers, Hartline told medics he had been drinking prior to the crash, which sent him and a passenger to Riverside Methodist Hospital.
Hartline, 36, crashed on his own property at around 1:20 a.m. His vehicle rolled over in the accident, and a second person not affiliated with Ohio State – later identified as Joshua Gaylor — was riding in the ATV with him.
An Ohio State spokesperson said Monday that Hartline had been released from the hospital and returned home.
A sheriff’s department spokesperson told the Columbus Dispatch that a field sobriety test was not given to Hartline because his injuries – sustained from being ejected – required getting him to the hospital. His injuries were not life-threatening.
