Chase Allen hit by car at Iowa State, walked away

Nixa football fans know Chase Allen is tough, but he took toughness to a new level when he stood up and walked away after being hit by a car.

Allen, a 2016 Nixa graduate now on the football team at Iowa State, said he was hit by a car Thursday night just outside the Cyclones’ practice facility in Ames, Iowa.

“I was crossing the street and a car didn't see me but I had time to react and jump,” Allen said.

Allen landed on the car’s windshield, which shattered upon impact. Allen said he had a large amount of broken glass in his back, but managed to avoid hitting his head or suffering any bone injuries.
