Jason Pierre-Paul
Jason Pierre-Paul was behind the wheel of $350,000 Ferrari when he crashed into a concrete barrier on May 2 ... this according to the crash report obtained by TMZ Sports.
The Florida Highway Patrol states JPP was driving a red 2019 Ferrari 488 Pista -- a rocket ship on wheels that tops out at 211 mph. The car goes from 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds.
Officials say the Tampa Bay Bucs superstar lost control of the car around 2:38 AM and collided with a concrete barrier on I-95 in Fort Lauderdale. There were no skid marks or debris found in the roadway.
Despite the curious time of the accident, officials say the responding officers did NOT suspect JPP was under the influence of alcohol or drugs ... and was NOT tested for either.
Instead, cops say they believe "weather conditions" -- specifically wet road surfaces -- caused the NFL star to lose control.
JPP and his passenger were transported to a nearby hospital. The NFL star reportedly suffered a broken neck and will likely be out for the 2019 NFL season.

Justin Bieber Paparazzo I Ran Over ... It's His Own Damn Fault
5/8/2019 6:16 AM PT
Justin Bieber says the photog he ran over and injured has no one to blame but himself ... and his fellow paparazzi.
As we reported, a paparazzo is suing Bieber for serious injuries he suffered in July, 2017, when Justin was pulling away from the place he goes to church in Bev Hills, and creamed the guy.
Play video content
07/26/17 MOMENT OF IMPACTThe photog says he suffered permanent disabilities along with emotional scars. The injuries include a torn meniscus and a screwed up kneecap.
Bieber just filed his answer to the lawsuit, and says it was caused by the negligence of the photographer along with his cohorts who were trying to snap a shot as the singer drove away.
You see in the video ... Justin initially creeps forward in his truck but then seems to lurch ... and that's when he makes contact with the photog.
The photog, William Wilson, crumbled to the ground. Bieber got out and tried to help him before paramedics arrived and took Wilson to the hospital.

Johnny Depp Van Crashes Outside His Home ... Driver Flees Scene!!!
4/26/2019 12:50 AM PT
Johnny Depp got an unwanted visitor at his Los Angeles estate when an unknown driver smashed a van into a street sign ... then ghosted before cops could show up.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... police are investigating a hit-and-run outside the actor's home after someone crashed into a "no parking" sign around 3:30 AM Thursday. We know what you're thinking -- this is someone with a parking grudge against the city.
Could be, but there's no way to know for sure because the clown left a banged up 2000 Chevy van, and fled the scene. Johnny's home itself wasn't damaged -- just the one fallen soldier ... the sign just to the left of his driveway.
We're told the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star was not home at the time of the crash.
As you can see in our pics from the scene ... the street sign broke at its base, toppling over and taking out some shrubbery. Our law enforcement sources say police recovered the van, but there was no note with contact info.
That means the driver's on the hook for a hit-and-run.

Michael Madsen Loses $100k Movie Role ... Because of DUI Charge
4/26/2019 12:40 AM PT
Michael Madsen's recent DUI charge is already costing him a big payday -- even though he hasn't been convicted, he's been 86'd from a movie.
Sources close to production on the upcoming flick, "Chronicle of a Serial Killer," tell TMZ ... Michael's reps were notified Thursday he's been canned from the cast. That's no small loss for Madsen, who was supposed to earn $100,000 for gig.
We broke the story ... Michael was just charged with 2 misdemeanors for DUI after smashing his Land Rover in Malibu last month. Our sources tell us that's the reason he's getting booted from the movie.
Filming begins next month in NYC, and we're told production is worried Madsen won't be around to shoot ... because he could be heading to jail. Michael's a repeat DUI offender, and mandatory sentencing guidelines mean he could get anywhere from 4 to 364 days in county lockup ... if convicted.
It's kinda ironic ... Michael was cast to play an NYPD officer in 'Serial Killer,' a psychological thriller/drama co-starring Tara Reid, DMX and Brendan Sexton III.
A replacement is already in the works. We're told James Russo just signed on to the cast ... most likely to fill Michael's role.

Uber Fires Driver Accused of Killing Ex-UFC Fighter
4/23/2019 11:14 AM PT
The Uber driver accused of killing former UFC fighter Rodrigo de Lima during an altercation in Brazil on Sunday has been fired by the rideshare company ... an Uber spokesperson tells TMZ Sports.
As we previously reported, the 26-year-old MMA fighter was a passenger in an Uber in Belem, Brazil with friends when he allegedly got into a verbal altercation with the driver.
The driver, later identified as Jefferson Roger Maciel, reportedly kicked Rodrigo out the car -- and despite initially driving away from the scene, turned around and smashed into Rodrigo from behind.
Rodrigo died from his injuries. He's survived by a wife and 2 young children.
A rep fro Uber confirmed Maciel was working for them at the time of the incident.
Uber says allegations are "horrible" -- adding, "As soon as we learned of this incident we immediately removed the driver’s access to the app and we stand ready to assist law enforcement with their investigation."
On Monday, cops said they were still searching for Maciel -- no word if they've located him yet.
De Lima was 9-3-1 as a pro -- and earned the nickname "Monstro" (which means monster) -- due to his fighting style.
He had two matches in the UFC -- fighting Neil Magny in 2014 and Efrain Escudero in 2015. He lost both of those fights and moved on to another pro fighting organization.

Justin Bieber Pap Sues for Truck Accident You Ran Me Over, Now Pay Up!!!
4/16/2019 6:27 AM PT
4/16 -- Wilson's attorney says they're only suing because settlement talks with Justin's insurance company broke down a couple of months ago when they got a "lowball" offer.
In a statement, the attorney says Wilson suffered a torn meniscus and knee cap damage in the accident and had to undergo arthroscopic surgery.
Justin Bieber's getting sued by the photographer he accidentally drove over as he was leaving a church event.
The accident was pretty brutal to see and hear -- back in 2017, Justin was leaving a worship service in Bev Hills when he pulled away in his 2017 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup. The photog, William Wilson, was no match for the monster truck and went down in a heap.
Play video content 07/26/17 MOMENT OF IMPACTWilson is now suing Bieber, claiming the singer was negligent in the way he pulled out into the street. In docs, obtained by TMZ, Wilson says he suffered "permanent disability, emotional damages and general damages."
He doesn't specify his injuries, but at the time ... Wilson posted a video from his hospital bed.
Play video content
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEYou might recall, Justin immediately pulled over and tried to assist Wilson. He also stayed on the scene until police arrived to take a report. Police eventually decided not to pursue any criminal charges against Bieber ... and chalked it all up to an accident, partially caused by camera flashes blinding Justin.
Cops also said the photog shouldn't have been standing in the street.
Wilson's suing Justin for unspecified damages. We've reached out to Justin's camp ... but no word back yet.

Michael Madsen Arrested for DUI Smashed SUV into Pole!!!
3/25/2019 5:39 AM PT
Michael Madsen is behind bars ... after wrecking his Land Rover in Malibu, he got arrested for driving under the influence.
The veteran actor of Quentin Tarantino flicks like 'Kill Bill,' 'Hateful Eight' and "Reservoir Dogs" got into a single-car crash, hitting a pole, Sunday around 8 PM ... according to law enforcement sources. We're told the L.A. County Sheriff's Department deputies responded and, when they arrived, immediately suspected Madsen had been boozing.
We're told Madsen smelled of alcohol, so he was given a field sobriety test and, according to law enforcement, it didn't go well -- his BAC was .10.
The legal limit is .08, so Madsen was arrested for misdemeanor DUI. His bail has been set at $15k.
Madsen was also busted for DUI in Malibu back in 2012, when his BAC was twice the legal limit. He entered a 30-day rehab after that arrest, and the judge also ordered him to get outpatient treatment.

Pro Motorcycle Racers Suspended Over Insane Brawl
3/25/2019 6:44 AM PT
WHOAAA!!!!!
Two pro motorcycle racers just got hit with 2-year suspensions over one of the CRAZIEST fights we've ever seen on a race track!!
It all went down at the National Motorbike Championship in February in Costa Rica -- where racer Marion Calvo got pissed after Jorge Martinez bumped him during the race and caused him to lose control of his bike.
Somehow, Martinez clung to Calvo's bike and forced Calvo to pull over, while Martinez was hanging off the back of his opponent's bike.
When the bike finally came to a stop, Martinez reached back and threw a HAYMAKER shot right at Calvo's face -- knocking the racer on his ass!!
But, kudos to Calvo ... who got up ... and ran back after Martinez, trying to continue the fight ON THE TRACK while other racers zoomed by.
Eventually, things broke up ... but wow. Insane.
Both racers were disqualified on the spot -- but now the Latin American Motorcycle Association has doled out the bigger punishment -- and it's 2-year suspensions for both fighters.
Too bad ... we wanna see the rematch!!!!

'Glee' Actor Jesse Luken Charged with DUI
3/17/2019 12:10 AM PT
"Glee" actor Jesse Luken has officially been charged with DUI ... nearly 3 months after he was arrested.
The L.A. County D.A.'s Office charged Jesse with 1 misdemeanor count of DUI and 1 misdemeanor count of driving with a .08 blood alcohol content. His arraignment's been set for next month in Glendale.
TMZ broke the story ... Jesse was busted last December after cops said his Toyota was found on a curb with the airbag deployed. His right front tire was mangled but no other cars were involved. We were told Jesse was in the driver's seat and he reeked of booze. Cops say he bombed the field sobriety test.
If convicted, Jesse -- who played the dirty blonde jock, Bobby 'Boom Boom' Surette, on the hit show -- will almost certainly get the usual punishment ... probation and a mandatory alcohol ed program.
"Glee" cast members have had more than their share of woes. Mark Salling committed suicide while awaiting sentencing in his child porn case. Cory Monteith died of a drug overdose. And, Naya Rivera was busted for domestic violence.

Jim Boeheim Speeding Before Fatal Accident ... Cops Say
3/7/2019 1:57 PM PT
Cops now say Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim WAS speeding before he struck and killed a man on a NY highway last month ... but believe his speed was not a factor in the fatal crash.
According to officials ... Boeheim was going 66 mph in a 55 mph zone just 5 seconds before he hit Jorge Jimenez in Syracuse, NY around 11 PM on Feb. 20.
Jorge was taken to the hospital and later died from the injuries he suffered.
Investigators say 74-year-old Boeheim attempted to hit the brakes before slamming into Jimenez -- but couldn't avoid the collision ... only slowing to 54 mph at the moment of impact.
But, even if Boeheim was driving the speed limit, he wouldn't have been able to avoid Jimenez, cops say ... citing 2 main factors for the crash, including poor decision-making by the victim.
1) Jimenez was in a previous crash and his unlit Dodge Charger was blocking 2 lanes of traffic on a night with poor visibility due to extreme darkness.
2) Jimenez was walking on the highway after his crash in dark clothing for a prolonged period of time after being aware of oncoming vehicles on the road.
Prosecutors say they COULD have hit Boeheim with a speeding charge -- but decided not to move forward because, ultimately, this was a "tragic accident."
Boeheim has coached in every Syracuse game since the accident ... but the team has gone just 1-3 in that time frame.
Syracuse closes out its regular season with a game at Clemson on Saturday.

UFC's Matt Hughes Denies Violent Allegations ... Says Train Crash Changed Him
3/1/2019 7:28 AM PT
UFC legend Matt Hughes is adamant he NEVER physically abused his wife and nephew -- and claims they're all making up false allegations to drive him out of their lives.
Long story short ... Hughes says he's "not the same person" since his accident -- when a train slammed into his truck in 2017, resulting in a serious brain injury.
"Since my train accident in June of 2017, my life has been changed forever. Some days have been absolute hell," Hughes says.
"The challenges and battles that I have faced have been far greater than anything I ever took on in a cage ... everyday I continue to try to be as normal as someone with a brain injury can be."
TMZ Sports broke the story ... Matt's wife and nephew both obtained restraining orders against him, claiming he's gotten violent and they're scared for their safety.
In fact, Matt's wife claims he attacked her on multiple occasions and threatened to shoot her.
Matt responded to those allegations in a statement posted to social media -- saying the accusations are false.
"Unfortunately, my marriage was not perfect long before the accident, but NEVER, NEVER, NEVER would I, or have I, physically hurt those who I care about most."
"I do not resent those who are trying to hurt me and paint me out to be a monster through these false accusations."
Matt says he also believes his family members are trying to rid him from their lives because he's become a burden due to his brain injury.
Click here... it's not over yetNFL's Alex Collins Arrested After Car Crash ... Cut By Ravens
3/1/2019 12:50 PM PT
12:50 PM PT -- The Ravens announced they have cut Alex Collins.
Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins was arrested following a car crash near the team's practice facility ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.
Cops say the RB is still in custody ... but charges have yet to be filed against the 24-year-old star.
We're told Collins crashed into a tree at 6:48 AM ET Friday in the 10000 block of Dolfield Road in Owings Mill, Maryland ... a mere mile from the Ravens' Under Armour Performance Center facility.
The Ravens tell us they've spoken with police and are aware of the situation.
Collins was a stud for Baltimore after they picked him up shortly after he was cut by the Seahawks in 2017 ... rushing for 973 yards and 6 TDs in 15 games.
But, this past season, Alex battled injuries ... and was placed on IR in December before the team really made its playoff push with Lamar Jackson under center.
Still, Collins managed to rush for 411 yards and 7 TDs despite only playing in 10 games.
Collins -- a former Arkansas superstar -- was picked by Seattle in the fifth round in the 2016 NFL Draft.

NFL's Demaryius Thomas Arrested For Vehicular Assault ... In Denver Crash
2/28/2019 8:33 AM PT
12:10 PM PT -- Demaryius Thomas is addressing the accident for the first time, telling TMZ Sports ... “Over the past several days I have had time to really think. It saddens me that I caused pain to those whom I love most.”
DT's rep added ... "Demaryius is extremely remorseful for exceeding the speed limit which led to the automobile accident in Denver, February 16th. Demaryius is taking full responsibilities for his actions and ensures that nothing like this will ever happen again!"
NFL wide receiver Demaryius Thomas was arrested Wednesday night for "vehicular assault" -- in connection with a February 16 crash in Denver, authorities say.
Officials say Thomas was driving at speeds exceeding 70 MPH in a 30 MPH zone -- which not only qualifies as reckless driving, but also felony vehicular assault.
If convicted on the felony charge, Thomas faces up to 3 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
Officials say they conducted an investigation into the crash using "information from the vehicle and preliminary speed analysis" to confirm Thomas was traveling at over 70 miles per hour.
Thomas is listed on the police report as 6'3", 230 pounds.
We've obtained DT's mug shot -- you can see Thomas suffered a left eyeball injury.
As we previously reported, the 31-year-old ex-Broncos star was driving around Denver around 12:20 AM. We spoke with witness Michael Tafoya, who said he lost control of his car, hit a curb and rolled 3 times before landing in a grassy median.
Cops and emergency personnel arrived to the scene a short time later and took over -- managing to free Thomas and his 2 passengers.
Cops say all 3 people in the car were transported to a nearby hospital to be treated for injuries. One of the passengers suffered serious bodily injuries as a result of the crash.
A witness tells TMZ Sports ... Thomas seemed to be fine other than a "hellacious knot" on his head.
Thomas played for the Broncos for nine seasons before being traded mid-way through this past year to the Texans. He's now a free agent after Houston released him earlier this month.

Jim Boeheim Wasn't Speeding In Fatal Crash ... Case to Be Closed
2/27/2019 6:31 AM PT
Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim was NOT speeding on the night he hit a man (who later died) on a New York highway ... this according to officials who say it's highly unlikely Boeheim will be prosecuted.
As we previously reported, the 74-year-old coach was driving home after a game at the Carrier Dome last Wednesday night and struck a man who was standing on highway I-690. The man died as a result of his injuries.
Cops administered a field sobriety test on Boeheim but determined he was completely sober and he was NOT arrested at the time. Officials conducted a more thorough investigation to find out if Jim was driving irresponsibly that night ... but law enforcement is now saying the guy did nothing wrong.
In fact, officials say an accident reconstruction shows Boeheim was NOT speeding at the time of the crash.
Play video content
HE DID WHAT WAS EXPECTEDOnondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick told the AP that unless something comes out of left field, Boeheim will not face any charges.
Officials say the victim, 51-year-old Jorge Jimenez had been in an accident before the Boeheim crash -- and was walking on the highway in an effort to get help.
Boeheim says he saw the crash scene and was trying to drive cautiously, and that's when he accidentally struck Jimenez. Boeheim claims he simply didn't see the guy.
Boeheim addressed the accident last week ... saying he's "heartbroken that a member of our community died as the result of last night’s accident."
"Juli and I extend our deepest sympathies to the Jimenez family. Out of respect for those involved, I will not be providing further comment at this time."
