Troubled former AFL star Ben Cousins is recovering in hospital from a car accident, while under Police guard.
Cousins reportedly suffered minor injuries after his car crashed into a truck in the Perth suburb of High Wycombe.
The former premiership player and Brownlow Medalist was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday following a methamphetamine charge, however, he failed to appear at the hearing.
Cousins claimed to be unwell and unable to attend, however, as he did not provide a medical certificate, the magistrate issued an arrest warrant.
The 38-year-old was granted bail last month on the methamphetamine charges and two counts of breaching a violence restraining order.

This is really sad. It doesn’t seem as though there is any other path for Ben but jail and/or death 🙁
I think the consequence of all his relapses and criminal incidents for the whole country to see is by FAR greater consequence than Jobe has paid if he is indeed innocent.
Nope Ben was not. Bomber fans are coming out of the woodwork since Denk thinks he can get Jobe his medal back.
