Joey Lucchesi told reporters after his winning start Wednesday that his Uber got into a car accident when leaving Citi Field on Tuesday night.
Lucchesi, who allowed two runs in six-plus innings in the Mets’ 11-2 win over the Marlins in the first game of a doubleheader, said he is “all right” but experienced some back soreness.
“The police were chasing this stranger, and then the guy collided into our car,” Lucchesi told reporters. “Totally messed up the Uber’s left side — I was on the right side luckily. It wasn’t too drastic of a crash.”
Lucchesi said the car was no longer driveable, but Tylor Megill happened to witness the crash and was able to take Lucchesi and his family back to their hotel.
According to Lucchesi, police arrested the suspect.
Lucchesi improved to 4-0 with the win and has a 2.89 ERA.
