Shakti Stream Drove Car Which Seriously Injured Colt Brennan

Shakti Stream, Colt Brennan and a third person were involved in a car crash on Friday morning which has left both Stream and Brennan seriously injured. Shakti Stream, who is rumored to be Brennan’s girlfriend, has been identified as the driver of the vehicle at the time of the crash.

Brennan had recently flown to the Big Island of Hawaii, where the incident occurred. Stream, 27, is a resident and native of Kona, Hawaii. Stream was driving the SUV when it flipped onto its side on Queen Kaahumanu Highway near Makalawaena. They were heading north in the 1997 Toyota SUV.

The Hawaii Police Department said the Toyota crossed the center line and crashed head on with a 1996 Saub. The driver of the Saab is reported to be a 47-year-old woman who is a resident of Waikoloa. All persons involved in the crash are reported to be in serious condition.

It sounds as if Brennan and his parents, who were traveling separately, were visiting the Hawaiian Islands and possibly taking a family vacation. Brennan was recently cut from the Redskins in early September. Now he is fighting for his life.

Ryan Tollner, Brennan’s agent, released the following statement:

“We have been informed that Colt was injured as a passenger in car accident this morning on The Big Island of Hawaii. He was taken to Kona Community Hospital and has since been transported to Honolulu for further medical attention. We do not know the severity of his injuries at this point, but that his condition is serious. We are not aware of the status of anyone else involved in the accident but our thoughts and prayers are with them. No details of the accident have been revealed to us. Colt’s family asks that the public is respectful of the hospitals and medical staffs focused on treating the individuals involved in this accident.”

Brennan has suffered head injuries, a broken left collarbone and several broken ribs. He was unable to get himself out of the flipped SUV.

Brennan’s parents were traveling from California to Oahu at the time they were notified of the crash and Brennan’s injuries.

It must be even more difficult to be facing a situation such as this away from home. Let’s hope Brennan - and all other individuals involved - makes a complete recovery.
