Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was involved in a single-car accident Monday and was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to the team and the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Garrett left practice in his 2021 Porsche and was driving south when the accident occurred, OSHP officials told News 5 Cleveland. A female passenger also went to the hospital. The car veered off the right side of the road and flipped several times before coming to a rest around 3 p.m. ET, News 5 Cleveland reported. No cause of the crash has been provided.
OSHP officials told News 5 that alcohol and drugs were not factors in the crash and that both Garrett and the female passenger were wearing seatbelts. Garrett’s injuries were minor, they said.
