Fan Hits Chandler Parsons' SUV After Running Red Light, Then Asks For Autograph

(CBS) This one will go down as one of the more creative ways to acquire an autograph from a sports star, even if it was unintended.

Prior to Monday's game against the Spurs, Rockets forward Chandler Parsons was driving near the arena when another driver ran a red light and hit Parsons' SUV, the Houston Chronicle reported. No one was hurt, Parsons said, but here's the kicker.

The perpetrator of the fender bender decided to request an autograph.

"She said she ran a red light and it was her fault," Parsons told the Chronicle. "She had a little car so it kind of messed up the front bumper of my car. She was OK. Asked me to sign her insurance card."

What can you say? Fans have to pounce on their chance to get an autograph any way the can.
