According to the Tampa Police Dept., Martin’s BMW collided with another vehicle that had run a stop sign. Martin suffered minor cuts and bruises resulting from the crash, which occurred shortly after the veteran running back had left the team facility.

The Bucs said Martin was evaluated by the team’s medical staff and was sent home. Martin wrote on Twitter that he was fine, but his car did not fare as well.
