jetscanes331 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 According to the FHP there was a Maserati involved in the crash as well but the driver was uninjured. Hearing Norton's friends and family say he was cut off and swerved into the divider. Hate seeing this stuff. Best wishes for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenbloodblitz Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I hate hearing stuff like this. Yes he's a football player but it could be any man. I have four children. I cringe at the thought of anything like this. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Don't involve yourself in BS. You never know what's going to happen.

That's an update from last night, which made it sound like a single-car accident: Quote .Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Alex Camacho said the Ford F250 Norton was driving crashed into a concrete barrier and overturned early Thursday on State Road 836 near Miami. This is the first I've heard of a second car, and +1, if that's the case, I too hope they find the driver who caused it. And would be glad this isn't a case of the player driving drunk.

New York Mick Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Unfortunately he was a 7 round pick so even if he signed his rookie contract he’s still not set financially. It’s going to be a hard injury to make a living with. Best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Just read in the Sun Sentinel that the other car involved was a 2015 grey Maserati. The Maserati only had minor damage and the driver was unhurt. There were 2 others injured in Norton's truck but the injuries are not as serious as his.
