Bo Pelini said Tuesday he's "really proud" of the way Ndamukong Suh handled matters in the wake of his car accident early Sunday morning.

"He called me right away," Pelini said. "He told me exactly what the situation was, where he was, what happened. It was an accident. I thought he handled it the right way, very responsibly. He's fully prepared to take care of the damages and all of that."

Lincoln police cited the Nebraska senior DT on suspicion of negligent driving. Suh told police he swerved to avoid hitting a cat or dog in the road, according to a police accident report. His 2003 Land Rover struck three vehicles parked along U Street in between 30th and 31st streets at about 2:20 a.m.

According to the accident report, a preliminary Breathalyzer measured the 22-year-old Suh’s blood-alcohol content at 0.035 percent. The legal limit for drivers in Nebraska is 0.08 percent.

Pelini said Sunday the accident won't affect Suh's playing status.
