Newly released footage shows Cincinnati Bengals player Cam Taylor-Britt inside a Jeep that was involved in a rollover crash. The accident occurred in Covington, Kentucky, in November, according to local police.

According to the Covington Police Department, Taylor-Britt was one of two passengers in a black Jeep that rear-ended a parked Chevrolet Cruze at around 3:21 a.m. on Nov. 15. The crash caused both vehicles to flip, with the Jeep ending up on its top.

Tyler-Britt’s brother, Jafabian Booker, was driving the Jeep. He initially fled the scene but later returned. Taylor-Britt was the registered owner of the Jeep. The Bengals star reportedly told police he was a backseat passenger during the accident. He also stated that a dropped phone distracted the driver. Booker, on the other hand, told police that the crash happened because of a drunk “female” who ran away after the accident.

Cam Taylor-Britt also told police the state had suspended his license. Police arrested no one after the crash “because no one committed a crime,” according to Captain Justin Bradbury.

The crash, captured by neighborhood security camera footage, shows the Jeep running a red light before hitting the parked car and damaging a Duke Energy light pole.

While no one reported injuries from the crash, Taylor-Britt suffered a season-ending foot injury the next day in a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Cam Taylor-Britt has had repeated encounters with law enforcement over traffic violations

Last week, a judge sentenced Taylor-Britt to five days in the Hamilton County Justice Center for reckless driving. That charge was unrelated to the rollover crash.

It was, according to Cincinnati police, for running four red lights and driving sideways down the street, squealing his car’s tires in June. Then, in September, he allegedly did burnouts and drove on the wrong side of the road after the Bengals’ home opener, both times without a valid license, according to WLWT News.

During his hearing, Cam Taylor-Britt’s attorney told the judge that the Bengals defensive back would abstain from driving for the foreseeable future. Instead, Hoodline reports the lawyer stated, Taylor-Britt will rely on others for transportation for the next several months.
