Authorities said Carolina Panthers second-year linebacker Shaq Thompson and former Duke University quarterback Anthony Boone were involved in a head-on collision Sunday morning in Weddington.

Officials said Thompson’s 2016 Chevrolet SUV crossed the center line on Potter Road around 7:45 a.m. and collided with Boone’s 2004 Lexus SUV.

Thompson had alcohol in his system at the time of the crash, but it was not a factor in the wreck, according to a Union County Highway Patrol spokesman.

Thompson blew under the legal limit of .08 and passed all sobriety tests administered after the collision.

Shaq informed us he was involved in a traffic accident and we are in the process of gathering more information," Carolina Panthers spokesman Ryan Anderson said.

Officials said Thompson reached for his cell phone after dropping it on the floorboard, which caused him to cross the center line and collide with Boone.

According to the incident report, Thompson's vehicle crossed the center line in a curve while traveling south on Potter Road. Thompson swerved right in an attempt to get back in his own lane but collided with Boone's vehicle in the center of the road.

Boone and Thompson were not together Sunday morning and the accident was random, authorities said.

Boone was transported to Carolina’s Medical Center in Charlotte, where he is currently being treated for a broken pelvis and ribs.

Thompson refused medical attention at the scene and returned home after the accident.

Boone was listed in good condition Tuesday morning, according to a hospital official.
