New Orleans police are still investigating the single-car accident in which Giants rookie Chad Jones was seriously injured but do not believe alcohol was a factor.
Police were not able to test Jones’ blood-alcohol level before he went into surgery after Friday’s early-morning crash. But officers were able to interview Jones’ two passengers, who had only minor injuries, and found no evidence that alcohol was a factor, New Orleans Police spokeswoman Shereese Harper said.
LSU Public Hospital likely conducted its own blood or urine tests, but authorities have not decided whether to subpoena those, Harper said.
Police also have not concluded whether Jones was speeding. So far, he has been cited only for careless operation of a vehicle.
