"Tommy Hanson and the Braves got a scare Monday morning when the pitcher drove off the road in a one-car accident that left him with a possible concussion. The Braves were awaiting test results.

The incident occurred at about 7 a.m., three hours before the Braves' first spring-training workout for pitchers and catchers at ESPN's Wide World of Sports on the edge of Disney World outside Orlando.

Hanson told Braves officials that he blew a tire while rounding a curve near the team training site. He had his car towed and made it to camp in time for a 9:30 a.m. team meeting, before a 10 a.m. practice for pitchers and catchers. He didn't work out.

"I heard at about 7:40," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He called and said, 'Hey, I'm going to be running a little late, I blew a tire.' I said all right, fine.""
