Johnny Manziel reports his car was damaged in hit-and-run incident
Johnny Manziel is not having a good 2016, but the latest incident doesn’t appear to be his fault.
Manziel’s car was damaged and he reported it to police as a hit-and-run accident, the Associated Press reported. Manziel had a witness from his car and an impartial witness say his car was struck on the driver’s side and then that car left the scene, AP said.
Manziel was not seriously injured, according to the report, although his publicist said he did hit his head in the accident. TMZ had a picture of the damaged vehicle.
This isn’t even the first car accident Manziel has had in 2016. In April the former Cleveland Browns quarterback was a passenger in a car that crashed into a light pole in Los Angeles. Manziel wasn’t accused of any wrongdoing in that accident either.
Manziel has had a horrendous year so far. He was cut by the Browns and his NFL career appears to be over, barring a serious change in his lifestyle. He has been seen partying often this offseason and has been a darling of the gossip site TMZ. Most seriously Manziel was indicted on a domestic violence assault charge stemming from an altercation with his ex-girlfriend earlier this year.
