Jacksonville Jaguars running back Denard Robinson was involved in a scary wreck just over a week ago. Robinson and his passenger were either asleep or passed out with the front of his black Chevy Impala in water.
The original details cam from First Coast News:
The driver (Denard Robinson) opened his eyes and then went back to sleep. I continued
to knock on the window until the passenger Marissa Staples woke up and rolled the window down and said “what’s up”.I explained that their vehicle was in a pond and that they needed to exit the vehicle. The passenger attempted to roll the window back up. I was able to reach in the vehicle and unlock the door so I could help the occupants exit the vehicle.
The passenger refused to exit the vehicle and had to be pulled out of the car. The driver was passed out during this whole process. I was able to wake the driver but had to turn the vehicle off and remove his seatbelt.
The driver thought he was on a road and did not want to exit the vehicle. I had to tell the driver multiple times his car was in a pond and was sinking so he needed to hurry up and get out.
The driver tried about three times to open the driver’s door which was theside that was under water. I had to keep reminding the driver to climb out of the passenger side because his door was in the water.
Now, according to Action News Jax, Robinson has been cited for careless driving. It’s a civil traffic infraction that was made after Mike Williams, Jacksonville Sheriff, opened up a review of the incident last week.
The review of the incident has yet to be concluded.
