David "Puck" Rainey is used to being written about for his hijinks as a reality television star on MTV. However, he is being written up for something a bit different following a car accident that took place last Saturday east of San Diego.

The former bike messenger was driving through Descanso on Saturday night with his son, Bogart, when he swerved off of the road and rolled his Ford hatchback down an embankment. While Rainey was pinned in the car, his son managed to free himself and run to the highway, and flag down another driver.

Both father and son were then flown to University of California, San Diego Medical Center where Rainey was found to have serious injuries and was immediately scheduled for surgery. The son was released soon after being admitted, despite having suffered several internal injuries in the car crash.

Following a brief investigation into the car accident, the California Highway Patrol has charged Rainey with drunk driving, child endangerment and driving without a license. He will face the charges after being released from the hospital.

However, thus far, no one knows exactly when that will be and the hospital has only offered the statement that Rainey was "in good condition." He is rumored to have sustained a broken neck, sternum and clavicle - as well as suffering broken bones in his feet, according to TMZ.

Rainey is famous for appearing on the third season of MTV's Real World series and for being ejected from the house following several altercations with fellow cast members. Since then, Rainey has reappeared every so often on the network - always quick to reestablish himself as a controversial figure.
