FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – John Daly is not even playing the 109th U.S. Open and he’s still making news. The Mobile (Ala.) Press-Register reported Saturday that Daly was involved in an accident while driving his RV through a tunnel on Monday.

According to the report the fan and awnings were torn from Daly’s RV and smashed into a 1998 Cadillac DeVille owned by Mobile resident Jimmy Roberson.

Police pulled Daly over after the accident and he told authorities he wasn’t aware it had happened. Roberson’s attorney claimed the incident caused $8,000 in damage to his car and that his client had suffered some neck and shoulder injuries, although the police report did not note any injuries.

"We'll present it as a claim (to Daly’s representation) and see what happens. Hopefully we can avoid litigation,” Roberson’s attorney, Steve Moore, told the Press-Register.

In a posting on his Twitter account Daly wrote that he was happy neither he nor his children were hurt and questioned Roberson’s injuries.

“Was told by the cop at accident the guy was fine (which happens to be a preacher) – how about this man of (G)od now sayin he's hurt – UNREAL,” he wrote.

Stay tuned.

    “This just goes to show that even so called preachers are for an unearned penny. I have no respect for such low life people and believe me they are are there. I don't question that Daly should been aware of some type of damage, but that does give this low life (preacher "sure") a right to act as he has chosen. I have no respect for these type of individuals.”

    “There's a joke that goes - A man falls on a down esclator and store security rushes up and askes, "Are your hurt, are you okay?" The man, who's laying at the bottom and on the floor, answers, "I don't know, I haven't talked to my attorney yet!" Everyone is right however, $8K for that old car?? However, how can you scrape an awning, or anything else, off whatever you may be driving and not realize it?? donr”

    “An 11 year old Cadillac with $8k damages? Right. Another scumbag lawyer, another lying preacher going after the deep pockets.”

    “John should arrange a face to face meeting with the alleged victim.When he see's his new wardrobe he most likely will start speaking in tongues and forget all about the accident”

    “Hasn't anyone figured this one out yet!! Come on!! $50 was the damage to the preachers car and neck injuries?, and $7950 was the attorneys fee!! You gotta love Lawyers! I slow down for cats and dogs, I speed up for Lawyers. But if you ever need one, get the crookedest one you can find. Now who do you think instigated this deal, Right again, The Lawyer. Boy has the Preacher got some explaining to do to his congregation next Sun about Right and Wrong; and I'll bet he'll be wearing a great big neck brace to play the role. Incredible!”

    “John should spend a little time inside the church before he starts judging anyone. I believe it would bring him to a different reality.”

    “If this case turns out to be a bogus claim, the preacher should pay for lawyers, court costs, and mental anguish. Did any of his snakes get killed in the accident?”

    “I just looked at Kelly Blue Book. Until Daly ran the car over twice there is no 11 year old Cadillac on the planet that's worth $8000. I smell a rat.”
