In a shocking turn of events that has rocked the NFL world newly appointed Chicago Bears head coach Dan Campbell was reportedly involved in a car crash with former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson just hours after Campbell’s formal departure from the Lions organization.

Sources confirm that the incident occurred late last night on Interstate 94, near the Detroit-Chicago corridor. According to early reports from local authorities, both Campbell and Johnson were traveling separately when a chain-reaction accident resulted in a minor collision involving their vehicles.
