five-time NBA champion Rodman convicted over crash

Los Angeles (AFP) - Former NBA star Dennis Rodman was given community service for a hit-and-run accident he caused by driving the wrong way on a freeway ramp in southern California, officials said.

Rodman was at the wheel of a sports utility vehicle in the early hours of July 20 last year when he went into the southbound carpool lane of Interstate 5 in Santa Ana, according to the Orange County district attorney's office.

The 55-year-old drove head-on toward a black BMW, causing the driver to swerve into a dividing wall to avoid a collision with Rodman's vehicle.
