>Aldon Smith was involved in a serious car accident two days
>before Sunday's game against the Lions. According to the
>California Highway Patrol, Smith was the passenger in a car
>that swerved to avoid a deer on a road in unincorporated Santa
>Clara County Friday night and ended up on its side on a dirt
>embankment.
>
>The unidentified driver of the BMW was transported to San Jose
>Regional Medical Center with what the CHP described as a
>"broken back." Smith suffered a cut above his eye that
>required stitches. He was driven to Stanford Hospital, the
>49ers' team facility, where he was treated. Smith played every
>defensive snap of Sunday's game and finished with seven
>tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss and a quarterback hit.
>
>The accident occurred at 11:45 p.m. Friday near Smith's home
>in the hills east of San Jose. Alcohol was not a factor in the
>crash, the CHP said. Smith notified the 49ers, and presumably
>team officials transported him to Stanford Hospital.
>Smith's home was the site of raucous party June 30 in which
>two people were shot and Smith suffered minor stab wounds. He
>also was charged with DUI in Miami Beach in January.
>
>According to Miami-Dade County officials, Smith qualified for
>a program to reduce the charges to reckless driving. Among the
>parameters of the program are completion of a DUI school, 60
>hours of community service, completion of a session of the
>victim-impact panel and paying $500 to a victim services or
>DUI enforcement fund.
