Did Ndamukong Suh lie about car accident?

A. Isaac Senior Editor

Ndamukong Suh returned to his hometown of Portland to relax and perhaps hang out with some friends as he serves a two-game suspension for his Thanksgiving stomping incident. A suspension that requires him to stay as far away from team facilities as humanly possible.

The time away did not help Suh’s image, however, as he was involved in a one-car accident over the weekend. Though Portland police initially cleared Suh of any wrongdoing (outside of being careless) passengers are now coming forward saying they were injured in the accident–directly refuting what Suh told police and a ’911′ operator.

Listen below.

Suh appears fairly calm, even flagging down a police officer to the scene. But this woman feels like the entire story isn’t being told.

Yet, in the police report, the female passenger said she told Suh repeatedly she was hurt and needed a doctor. She said he refused and told her she was fine. She eventually walked down the street and had her husband pick her up and take her to Oregon Health and Science University for treatment.

The police report also quoted the same woman later interviewed by KGW. “He [Suh] was driving too fast and reckless all the time. There was never a taxi. He was just going too fast and he could have killed someone at Dante’s [a Portland nightclub].”

Clearly, somebody’s not telling the truth here. It appears Suh clearly downplayed injuries that included a black eye and a cut that required stitches.

At the same time, you have to wonder how well Suh knew this passengers and whether or not, these claims have some serious dollar signs behind it.

We’ll wait and see but it’s a good bet a lawsuit will come out of this.

What'd you think of this?
