Ben Heeney was in a high-speed car accident early Sunday morning, but fortunately, the Raiders linebacker and all others involved left the scene unscathed. 

On his way to church in his home state of Kansas, Heeney said he hit a patch of snow and lost control of his vehicle, spinning out in the middle of the highway before being hit head-on by oncoming traffic. 

The damage to Heeney's vehicle was all on the front end, allowing passengers in both cars to avoid serious injury.
