Chargers' Mathews suffers minor injuries in car accident

Chargers running back Ryan Mathews suffered minor injuries in a two-car accident in San Diego on Monday night, according to U-T San Diego.

Mathews lost control of his BMW and hit another vehicle, according to the California Highway Patrol. He appears to have been driving too fast while entering Interstate 8, but the High Patrol does not believe drugs or alcohol were involved.

He was taken to the hospital to be examined after complaining of pain. No one in the other car was injured.

Mathews watched Tuesday's practice but did not participate.
