Aaron Rodgers, broke both of his legs in a car accident. At least that's what the Internet is saying. However the Green Bay Packers quarterback didn't break his legs because he was never in a car accident. Rodgers is the victim of another Internet hoax.

A report came out this week by Global Associated News, which read:

 "A spokesperson for the Wisconsin highway safety authority (HSA) has confirmed that Aaron Rodgers has broken both of his legs in a traffic altercation. He has been transported via ambulance to a local Wisconsin hospital for treatment, and the full extent of his injuries are not known at this time, however, both of his legs were visibly broken and not life threatening according to sources.

The accident involved a 2012 BMW driven by Aaron Rodgers and a 76 year old female driver in a 2010 Audi. The driver of the Audi was issued a citation for failing to stop at a red light before striking the vehicle driven by Aaron Rodgers at a high rate of speed. Team spokespersons could not be reached for comment at this time."

Since there are so many details to the story, it is easy to believe that it's real, but Global Associated News creates fake reports using a generator.

A message at the bottom of the site reads:

"FAKE... THIS STORY IS 100% FAKE! this is an entertainment website, and this is a totally fake article based on zero truth and is a complete work of fiction for entertainment purposes! this story was dynamically generated using a generic 'template' and is not factual. Any reference to specific individuals has been 100% fabricated by web site visitors who have created fake stories by entering a name into a blank 'non-specific' template for the purpose of entertainment."

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and Carolina Panther's quarterback Cam Newton became the victim of the same exact hoax about a month ago.

Rodgers did not get in a car accident and he did not break both of his legs.   Yet fans of the football star have taken to Twitter to discuss the rumor which they believe is true. Some examples of tweets include:

"JUST SAW AN ARTICLE SAYING @AaronRodgers12 WAS IN AN ACCIDENT N
DIED! IS THIS FOR REAL?? ABOUT 45 MINS AGO!"

"Just heard Aaron Rodgers died in a car accident?? #Saywhat"

"Hey @PAKFANVikes Did Aaron Rodgers really die in a car accident or is that a hoax? #kfan"

"Can not believe Aaron Rodgers broke both of his legs.... Packers are screwed...."
