Clarke Carlisle is fighting for his life after being hit by a lorry.

Carlisle, the former Leeds, Burnley and QPR defender who went on to be chairman of the PFA and also achieved acclaim for his appearance on TV’s Countdown, was airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary with life threatening injuries.

The incident took place near Bishopthorpe in North Yorkshire at 7.30am on Monday, with the road closed to allow the air ambulance to arrive at the scene. The reason for the accident remains unclear, however a police spokeswoman said they were ‘pursuing all avenues’.

Not everyone's cup of tea but this is terrible.
 

....sounds odd, first thought it was a car crash but now appears to have been struck by a lorry. Didn't know he'd tried to commit suicide once, not sure if that's a factor here.
 

I read that article just a few minutes ago and it really shocked me. Not good at all. Reading between the lines in the article, was it a suicide attempt? I didn't know about the depression issues that he had. I was very impressed with his co-commentator stints during the World Cup.
