It’s a new day so obviously that means new details pertaining to Buccaneers OLB/DE Jason Pierre-Paul’s auto accident.
Intial reports on the accident were mis-reported by TMZ, since then the official report from FHP has been released and it turns out this was just a simple one car accident.
Florida Highway Patrol state this was a single car accident on I-95 early last Thursday morning. The report cites road conditions as “rain” and road surface as “wet” that caused Pierre-Paul’s Ferrari 488 Pista to hydroplane and hit a concrete barrier. The initial damage report to the car was roughly $30,000. The accident report goes on to say that Pierre-Paul had his seatbelt on and their was no signs of distracted driving or suspicion of intoxication.
Pierre-Paul’s airbag did not deploy but his passenger’s airbag, James Thompson’s, did deploy as the right side of the vehicle made contact with the concrete barrier.
Pierre-Paul appears to have suffered a neck injury, the severity of the injury is still not clear at the time of this article, but reports have been made that it could cost Pierre-Paul to miss a substantial part if not all of the season.
