New York Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson, the team's first-round draft pick in 2011, was treated for "minor injuries" after he was involved in an accident on the Garden State Parkway early Saturday morning in which the car he was driving overturned after striking another vehicle, a police spokesman confirmed.

Wilkerson was transported to a Newark hospital after he crawled out of his car, according to New Jersey Garden State Trooper Christopher Kay, who added that there did not appear to be any other serious injuries suffered by anyone in the car that Wilkerson struck.

Kay said Wilkerson was charged with careless driving and failure to maintain his lane after he struck a Toyota Sienna with his 2011 Dodge Challenger, according to the police report. Police responded after being notified of the accident at 4:29 a.m. on Saturday.

Police don't believe alcohol played a role in the accident.

"First and foremost, other than the minor injuries, he's OK and everyone else involved is OK but I do not have a lot of details," said Chad Wiestling, the agent for Wilkerson.

The Sienna that Wilkerson struck contained 10 people, Lieutenant Steven Jones, a spokesperson for the New Jersey State Police, said. Three complained of pain but none were treated, he said.
