## Summary

Tennessee running back Daune Morris broke his leg in a single-vehicle crash early Friday morning, leaving his availability for the rest of the season uncertain. The injury comes after a standout performance helped Tennessee beat Kentucky and strengthen its position in the College Football Playoff race.

Police records cited in reports say Morris lost control while accelerating through a right turn; his Dodge Charger struck a fire hydrant and four other cars before overturning. He was taken to hospital with minor injuries, and the university said his injuries were non-life-threatening. Morris has rushed for 434 yards and three touchdowns this season, including a 66-yard score against Kentucky.
