Just days after his car was found crashed and abandoned on a Massachusetts highway, Brandon Spikes was cited Friday by state police.
According to ESPN, Spikes, who was cut by the New England Patriots on Monday as the investigation into the incident began, was issued a citation that charges him with speeding, negligent driving, leaving the scene of a crash that resulted in injuries and failing to stay in marked lanes.
The 27-year-old Spikes will be summonsed to appear in Wrentham District Court at a to-be-determined date.
Spikes’ Mercedes was found on I-495 in Foxborough around 3:20 a.m. Sunday morning and police say he crashed into the back of an SUV, injuring a man, a woman and their 12-year-old son. Police say their injuries are minor.
The on-board assistance service in Spikes’ car contacted him after it detected a crash. According to police, the driver responded by telling the operator that the car hit a deer.
Police who responded to the call of an abandoned car said there was no evidence it hit a deer.
The incident comes only a few weeks after the Patriots re-signed Spikes, who spent the 2014 season with the Buffalo Bills. Prior to his season in Buffalo, Spikes played the first four seasons of his career for the Patriots.
