Indians' Lara injured in crash

Indians reliever Juan Lara was involved in a serious car accident in the Dominican Republic that left him hospitalized with unknown injuries, a team spokesman said Sunday night. Lara was returning from a winter league game Saturday night in San Pedro de Macoris when the sport-utility vehicle he was driving was hit by a speeding motorcycle, instantly killing the two people on the motorcycle, Indians spokesman Bart Swain said.

Lara was stopped at an intersection when he was struck on the passenger side. Swain couldn't provide any further details on Lara's condition.
