Initial Images From Jon Jones Car Accident Surface

An initial news article from 12 WBNG Action News on UFC champ Jon 'Bones' Jones arrest and DWI charge from this past weekend. The video report offers some shots of the damaged telephone pole and a glimpse of Jones 2012 Bentley, which does not appear as damaged as I thought the initial reports made it out to be. I guess though, when you crash a $190,000 car into a telephone pole, it's considered a "writeoff". Jones crashed his car at Grand Blvd. and Helen street Saturday morning at 5am and received only minor injuries. On Saturday, Malki Kawa, the champs manager, released a statement on the incident, "I can confirm that Jon Jones was arrested early this morning on suspicion of DUI. While the facts of this situation are still being gathered and situated, First Round Management fully supports Jon, and we are asking for fans and media to respect the privacy of Jon and his family during this time." Props to MMAMania.com for the find.
