Arkansas State Police released audio of a 911 phone call made shortly after the motorcycle accident involving Arkansas Coach Bobby Petrino and Jessica Dorrell.

On the tape the caller can be heard telling the dispatcher that the female involved in the accident [Dorrell] "did not look to be injured," but of Petrino the caller said, "the gentlemen was walking. His face was bleeding quite a lot."

Petrino, according to the caller, asked that 911 not be called. Petrino and Dorrell left the scene in a white SUV.

"The rider and the passenger of the motorcycle declined us to call 911," the caller said. "They got into a vehicle and headed toward the hospital."

Petrino was transported to the hospital by Capt. Lance King of the Arkansas State Police after a couple dropped the coach and Dorrell off at a location. ASP will interview King to determine what his role was following the crash.

A statement was released earlier in the week on behalf of Petrino by the UA saying no other individual was involved in the crash. Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long said he learned of Dorrell's role at 3:12 p.m. on Thursday, just minutes before an Arkansas State Police report on the crash was released.

Petrino is on administrative leave while Long conducts a review of the incident. Petrino released a statement on Thursday apologizing for not disclosing Dorrell was involved and the coach also admitted to a "previous inappropriate relationship."
