Miami Beach Police: NFL Player Hits, Kills Pedestrian

Filed under: Automobile Accident — GBNF @ 7:21 pm

MIAMI — Miami Beach police said Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth hit and killed a pedestrian with his Bentley Saturday morning on the McArthur causeway.

 

Police said Stallworth was headed toward the beach when he hit a 49-year-old man around 7 a.m.

 

The victim was near a crosswalk, but it’s not clear if he was crossing legally.

 

Stallworth, 28, was cooperating, and no charges have been filed.

 

Officers drew blood to test for drugs or alcohol, which is routine, but police said it was too early to tell if Stallworth was impaired or violating traffic laws.

 

Stallworth owns two condos in Miami not far from the McArthur causeway.

 

Stallworth signed a seven-year, $35 million contract with the Browns as a free agent before last season.
