“Checking in – Monday, I took a 95 MPH line drive to my head,” Wingert tweeted. “The @Rockies & @ATTSportsNetRM have treated me like family. Getting me treatment & to the best hospital ASAP. I was at hospital for 5 hours w/ David Woodman (GM of AT&T SN), his wife, Paula & my producer Alison Vigil.”
In a follow-up tweet, Wingert shared that she had a CT scan to check for internal bleeding and fractures, which came back clear.
“Thank God. I received internal & external stitches. I’ve been staying at my GM’s house,” the reporter tweeted. “I can’t say enough about AT&TSN & the Rox. I’ve never experienced support like this. Thank you for the prayers.”
