Cleveland Plain Dealer: Browns WR Donte' Stallworth released a
statement through the team on Wednesday in which he expressed his
grief and prayers for an accident that killed a pedestrian last
Saturday morning. Stallworth was involved in an accident over the
weekend in which a car he was driving allegedly struck and killed
59-year-old Mario Reyes in Miami Beach. A Miami Herald report
stated that Stallworth appeared to drive his Bentley around a
stopped vehicle to beat a red light and struck Reyes, who was
walking to a bus stop from work as an overnight crane operator. A
separate report by Yahoo! Sports said that Stallworth is expected
to be charged in the accident. Driving under the influence,
vehicular manslaughter and reckless driving are among the possible
charges. The 28-year-old wide out has yet to be charged, though.
"My family and I are grief stricken over the tragic accident which
occurred Saturday on Miami Beach where Mario Reyes sadly lost his
life," said Stallworth in the statement. "My thoughts and prayers
are with the Reyes family during this incredibly difficult time.
Unfortunately, since this accident is still under police
investigation, I cannot comment further on the matter at this
time."
