Giants rookie Abdul Carter has been left broken-hearted after his former college teammate was involved in a serious ATV accident over the weekend.
Former Penn State receiver Julian Fleming was driving the vehicle in Columbia Township, Pennsylvania when it struck a deer who jumped into the road, according to a police report.
Fleming was hospitalized with ‘serious injuries,’ though his girlfriend, Alyssa Boyd – who was also onboard – died at the scene.
Carter took to X on Sunday to offer some words of encouragement to his former Nittany Lions teammate.
‘stay strong fam,’ he wrote with two broken-heart emojis and two praying-hands emojis, before writing out Fleming’s name.
The 23-year-old Fleming was taken to Guthrie Troy Community Hospital following the crash.
