Atlanta Braves infielder Sean Rodriguez and his family were involved in a deadly car crash Saturday.

Rodriguez’s wife and two young children were injured in a crash Saturday when a stolen police cruiser reportedly T-boned the Rodriguez family’s SUV.

Rodriguez was uninjured in the crash, but his wife and two children were hurt. His wife is in fair condition, according to The Associated Press, while his 2-year-old and 8-year-old children both are listed in serious but stable condition. The driver of the stolen cruiser died.

As Deadspin pointed out Monday, there is some question as to the exact nature of the accident.

The Braves issued the following statement via Twitter on Sunday night.

The Braves signed Rodriguez, who spent the first nine years of his career with the Angels, Rays and Pirates, to a two-year contract in late November.
