ESPN NFL analyst Matt Miller suffered multiple injuries in a serious car accident last month in his home state of Missouri. In addition to multiple fractures, he also had to undergo a “life-saving” amputation of his left arm.
Miller’s crash occurred on U.S. Route 50 near Smithton, Missouri. Missouri State Highway Patrol said a semi-truck hit Miller’s SUV head-on after he crossed the centerline.
His 2023 Ford Bronco suffered extensive damage on the driver’s side, leading to paramedics airlifting Matt Miller to Mercy Hospital in Joplin, Missouri.
Now, in a dashcam video obtained by the California Post, a blue Bronco driven by Miller can be seen driving on a road in Jasper County, Missouri, at approximately 3:50 p.m. on June 17, when it abruptly crossed the centerline and struck the approaching semi-truck.
The semi appeared to make an effort to avoid Miller’s oncoming vehicle, but it was unable to do so fast enough and the two vehicles collided violently.
Miller’s Bronco skidded several yards before coming to a stop in a patch of grass, according to photos of the collision’s aftermath that the Post also obtained.
“I was leaving my sister’s house,” a witness said in a police report. “I might have been maybe 100 yards behind. I witnessed the Bronco just a hard swerve into the semi’s lane. The semi tried to swerve. It made contact. I haven’t ever seen a car explode like that. I ran to the Bronco and there was no one in the vehicle. I heard groaning behind me. “I saw a man laying in the grass. I called 911.”
Matt Miller has been under a lot of scrutiny since his crash
Matt Miller recently shared that doctors were able to save his leg, and “to best focus on my healing and recovery, I’m stepping away indefinitely and will be placed on leave from ESPN.”
His announcement about “stepping away” from his duties at ESPN came shortly after his GoFundMe was paused amid an investigation by the Missouri Attorney General. The GoFundMe surpassed its initial $10,000 goal, and organizers had adjusted it upward twice as goals were hit, reaching $51,147 before it was paused.
After his accident, numerous people claimed to have participated in what Matt Miller advertised as charity fantasy football leagues but had not paid out winnings or had taken months to do so, or that they had paid an entry fee but did not receive any league or draft information.
