Former Texas Rangers pitcher Matt Bush was recently arrested after allegedly fleeing from Texas police and being involved in a multi-vehicle crash. The incident occurred when Bush was driving his 2023 Lincoln Aviator along Pioneer Parkway and was noticed driving erratically by an Arlington police officer who tried to pull him over. Instead of stopping, Bush accelerated and evaded the police, leading to a pursuit.

The police then received reports of a multi-vehicle accident at an intersection where the same Lincoln Aviator was involved. Bush ran a red light, collided with a Chevy Silverado, a GMC Yukon, and a Toyota Corolla. Following the crash, Bush attempted to flee the scene on foot without providing any information but was apprehended by bystanders who held him until authorities arrived.

Both Bush and the driver of the Silverado were taken to the hospital with minor injuries, while the drivers of the Yukon and Corolla were unharmed. Suspecting that Bush may have been intoxicated, the police attempted to conduct a field sobriety test, but Bush refused to cooperate. A warrant was obtained for a blood sample, which was sent to a lab for analysis. After being medically cleared, Bush was booked into the Arlington City Jail.

The former pitcher was charged with driving while intoxicated, accident involving injury, and evading arrest. His bond was set at $35,000. Bush, a former No. 1 overall draft pick, began his career as a shortstop but transitioned to a right-handed relief pitcher due to struggles at the position. He had a tumultuous career with several alcohol-related incidents before being signed by the Rangers in 2015 after serving a prison sentence.

During his time with the Rangers, Bush appeared in 180 games with a 12-7 record and a 3.34 ERA. He was signed and released by the team multiple times before being traded to the Milwaukee Brewers in 2022. After a brief stint with the Brewers, Bush was re-signed by the Rangers in 2023 but never pitched in the big leagues before being released at the end of the season. Despite his talent on the field, Bush’s off-field behavior has overshadowed his career in baseball.
