Foxborough, Mass. • A 25-year-old man has been charged in connection with a car crash that injured five people, including New England Patriots rookie linebacker Harvey Langi and his wife, Cassidy.

Police say Kevin Conroy, of Millis, is charged with drug possession and negligent operation and possession of an open alcohol container.

Langi and his wife were hospitalized for several days after the Oct. 13 crash in Foxborough.

Police say Langi was stopped at a traffic light in Foxborough on Oct. 13 when Conroy's Jeep, going 50 mph, rear-ended him. The force pinned Langi's car between the Jeep and the car in front of him.

Conroy had medications he said had been prescribed to him. He passed a Breathalyzer. He was not arrested, but will be summoned to court. It's unclear if he has a lawyer.

Langi, an undrafted free agent from Brigham Young, and his wife were hospitalized for several days.
