Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan is facing charges over an alleged hit-and-run in downtown Nashville.

Ryan, 63, turned himself in to authorities on Wednesday after six misdemeanor warrants were issued against him.

He is charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of failing to give information or render aid and two counts of failing to obey a traffic signal.

What police say happened

Police say two people were crossing Broadway at 4th Avenue on a walk signal last Thursday when a pickup truck ran over their feet. The truck also made contact with one person's leg.

The pedestrians said the driver kept going but stopped at a red light, where they waved him down.

They said Ryan got out of the truck and argued with them. He then got back in and drove away. They took photos of the license plate, which was registered to Ryan.

Released before court date

A judicial commissioner set bond at $6,000. Ryan qualified for pretrial release and was let go on non-financial conditions. He is due in court next month.

Ryan has worked as a TV analyst since 2017. His network said it is aware of the situation and is in touch with him.

His coaching career

Ryan coached the New York Jets for six seasons from 2009 to 2014. He led them to back-to-back AFC Championship Games in his first two years.

He then coached the Buffalo Bills for two seasons. He finished 61-66 as a head coach and 4-2 in the playoffs.

Before that, he spent 10 seasons on the Baltimore Ravens' defensive staff and became their defensive coordinator in 2005.
