LAWRENCE TAYLOR ARRESTED OVER HIT & RUN: NFL veteran allegedly crashed twice into a vehicle before driving off.
According to Miami-Dade County jail records, the one-time New York Giants star was charged Sunday with leaving the scene of an accident with property damage, a second-degree misdemeanor. He was released on $500 bond later that night.
A crash report obtained by TMZ.com shows that Taylor, 50, rammed his Escalade into a 1984 Ford van two separate times before driving off. Taylor told police he was aware of a collision, but thought it was just with a guardrail. However, the crash report indicates that he never even touched the guardrail, TMZ reported.
A diagram of the accident shows Taylor attempted to change lanes -- and instead drove into a van twice, causing it to hit the barrier four times before coming to a stop on the opposite side of the freeway. Police said Taylor then drove away from the scene.
The former athlete and "Dancing with the Stars" contestant showed no sign of drug of alcohol abuse when they located him in a nearby parking lot, police stated.
