U.S. Men’s National Team forward Charlie Davies is in serious but stable condition at Washington Hospital Center MedStar Unit after a car accident early Tuesday morning.

A 22-year old woman, identified as Ashley J. Roberta of Phoenix, Md., was fatally injured in the crash and died on the scene. A Facebook page belonging to an Ashley Roberta of Maryland lists DC United player Danny Szetela and Alecko Eskandarian among her friends but there is no real reason to believe this is anything beyond a coincidence. One other individual was injured in the accident and is believed to be in stable condition. No other U.S. soccer players were involved in the crash.

Details remain elusive, including whether Davies was driving or a passenger, and the nature of his injuries. A U.S. Soccer Federation spokesperson told the Washington Post Davies’ injuries were possibly career-threatening but later withdrew the statement, according to Sports Illustrated writer Grant Wahl’s Twitter feed.

Update 5:20pm EDT: Washington Post reporter Steven Goff in his Twitter account said early indications were that Davies’ injuries were limited to a broken leg and internal injuries.

Update 5:50pm EDT: Reports state Davies was not the driver of the car. Roberta appears to have been in the back seat. The driver was a yet unidentified third party not believed to be associated with U.S. soccer.

Update 7:05pm EDT: Davies is out of surgery that was described as “lengthy” by this AP story. Still no confirmation on the nature of his injuries. Ruptured spleen and broken leg have been reported.

Update, Oct. 14: The U.S. Soccer Federation released a statement on Davies’ injuries reading in part:

Davies suffered a lacerated bladder and fractures to the tibia and femur bones in his right leg. He also suffered facial fractures and a left elbow fracture. Davies was air-lifted to the hospital where a team of doctors first repaired a ruptured bladder and then inserted titanium rods in both the tibia, the bone in the lower leg, and the femur, which is the thigh bone, with no complications. Davies will be hospitalized for at least a week and additional surgeries will be required to stabilize his left elbow fracture and possibly the facial fractures.

“Injuries of this nature usually require a recovery period of six to 12 months and extensive rehabilitation,” said U.S. Soccer physician Dr. Dan Kalbac, who is with the team in D.C. and collaborated with the treating doctors. ”Due to Charlie’s fitness level, his prognosis for recovery and his ability to resume high-level competition is substantially improved.”
