Crowder Crashes Car on Turnpike

The black hole known as the Florida Turnpike caused yet another traffic accident, this time involving Miami Dolphins LB Channing Crowder. Apparently, Crowder crashed his pickup truck on an offramp after losing control, possibly from falling asleep (he told police he was tired).

Instead of sticking around, Crowder pulled a Joey Porter and ditched the vehicle because he supposedly didn't want to stand around and wait in the rain. The least he could have done would have been to notify someone of the accident. Not to speculate (though I suppose I am), but he might have had a drink or two and left the scene to avoid getting a DUI.

Either way, at least Channing is alright. That's the most important thing. Hopefully he didn't aggravate the knee injury that kept him out of the starting lineup towards the end of the season. Here's to hoping next time he makes a wiser decision when handling a similar situation.
