Former NFL coach and current analyst Rex Ryan turned himself in to authorities on Wednesday following an alleged hit-and-run incident in Nashville on November 4. According to Metro Nashville Police Department, Ryan was arrested on a charge of leaving the scene of an accident and other related charges stemming from the incident on Broadway.

The 61-year-old former head coach of the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills surrendered to police nearly a week after the alleged collision. Authorities have not released details about potential injuries or property damage resulting from the incident.

Ryan, who has worked as an NFL analyst for ESPN since 2017, gained prominence for leading the Jets to consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances in 2009 and 2010. His defensive schemes and outspoken personality made him one of the league's most recognizable coaches during his tenure.
