Miami Heat forward Haywood Highsmith is facing a lawsuit stemming from the car crash he was involved in earlier this month.
Per TMZ Sports, Alekxei Pino filed the lawsuit in Florida last week and is seeking unspecified damages in excess of $50,000.
The crash occurred on Feb. 6 a short time after the Heat's 121-95 victory over the Orlando Magic. Highsmith was cited with careless and negligent driving by the Miami-Dade Police Department.
Per the crash report, Pino was in the road helping a woman with her disabled car when Highsmith approached while driving his vehicle at an estimated 45 mph in a 40 mph zone and he wasn't able to stop his car when he noticed the disabled vehicle in the road.
