Jimmy Garoppolo Tells Insane Story Of Almost Dying Following Patriots Trade

SGKing

Jimmy G is alive and well, but what could have been the demise of Jimmy is a pretty insane story. During the NBC Sports Bay Area’s “49ers Talk,” Garoppolo told a wild story of nearly dying after he was traded by the Patriots to the San Francisco 49ers.

Garoppolo was dealt Oct. 30, 2017, and the next morning,  on Halloween, he almost was involved in car crash on Interstate 95  while riding in a limousine to T.F. Green International Airport outside Providence, R.I.

“A car jumped off the exit ramp, and was coming downhill at us, toward the driver’s side window

“I just saw headlights and the driver reacted, got us off into a ditch. It happened so fast. I’m in a panic in the backseat, like, ‘Holy … we almost just died, man.’

“The driver turned around — I’ll never forget it — he was like, ‘Whoa! That was awesome!’ And I was like, ‘That was not awesome. That was crazy. But great job!’

“It was an interesting morning. Definitely a great start to coming out west.”

Garoppolo heads back to New England  for the first time since the trade. The Niners visit Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Thank goodness Jimmy didn’t die. The World is a much better looking place with him alive.
