Apparently, Michael Phelps is having a hard time out-swimming trouble. Last night he was involved in a 2-car accident in his hometown of Baltimore. At this point the incident is still being investigated. Phelps and 2 passengers in his Cadillac SUV weren't injured or at least declined to be treated at the scene. The driver of the other vehicle, a Honda Accord however did go to the hospital.
More details from the Baltimore Sun here.

Since there has not been an investigation yet, there is no telling who caused the wreck. Phelps does have a bit of a driving history, having been pulled over in 2004 for a DUI. Police will be checking surveillance tape from the intersection in an effort to try and determine who caused the wreck.
**UPDATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON** Multiple Sources report the driver of the Honda Accord will be charged with running a red light. Phelps, other than having to get his vehicle repaired, is fine.
