Suh is accused of sideswiping a car, leaving scene of accident

AP

On the same day Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was featured on this page in response to allegations that he’s not showing enough fight on the field, he’s showing too much fight off it.

Allegedly.

According to FOX 2 in Detroit, Steve Vines claims that Suh sideswiped Vines’ car, left the scene of the accident, and then yelled at Vines at a stoplight.

Vines says he called Dearborn, Michigan police, who told him to go to the team’s practice facility and wait for them to arrive.  So that’s what Vines did.

“That’s when [Suh] said, ‘I advise you to leave, now,'” Vines said.  “And I said, ‘I’m not going anywhere.  I talked to the police.’  [He said], ‘I don’t care what they said.  You need to get out of here.’  And then he said, ‘I’m advising you to leave, now.'”

Police reportedly are investigating.

It’s the second time in less than a year that Suh has been involved in a traffic incident.  He’s currently facing a lawsuit for injuries allegedly suffered by a passenger when Suh wrecked a car in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, during a two-game suspension for stomping on Packers guard Evan Dietrich-Smith.

  1. Wow I cant believe I used to like this dude. GROW UP and use some of that money on a DRIVER. Big man can’t even swing a check to fix someones car that YOU hit? Bum.

  2. Not to mention he could have easily avoided ANY press on this by just getting out of his car, giving his insurance info and apologize like a NORMAL human being.

    This guy was a Lions fan driving his kids car…you think he’d call the cops for no reason to get him in trouble?? All he wanted was the car fixed, he would have been flattered to meet Suh. I really hate this guy now.

  3. Suh’s brains, common sense, character and integrity were as overrated as his football talent.

  4. This guy should have answered Suhs threat to get out of there with an or what big guy? you gonna punch me out?go ahead make my day, and me millions of dollars.another dumb move by a player in the Lions hall of shame.

  5. I’ll wait for the details of the investigation
    before passing judgement. If true the Lions season and questionable behavior
    continues to swirl right down the toilet.
    Overhyped underachieving losers!

  6. Suh is the JAMF we all knew he was all along. C’mon Detroit ownership, grow a pair and cut the dude. Let him wear out his welcome somewhere else.

  7. I am not a Suh fan by any means but the police told the man to go to the Lions practice facility? That sounds a bit sketchy but then again i am not so sure how effective police in Detroit are. Do they even have police in Detroit?

  8. Well, at least Detroit has the Redwings, Pistons and Tigers. Who is the coaching staff there? The 80’s and 90’s Miami Hurricanes alumni?

  9. What a loser… threatening another citizen with bodily harm in order to avoid the consequences of his actions.

    He sure seems to make more headlines off the field than on it. When the Vikes played Detroit a couple of weeks back you never even heard his name mentioned during the game. I guess he mustn’t have cheap-shotted for a change.

  10. With all the money you make Suh, you should really attend a Skip Barber driver training school.

    “This guy is a idiot man, Hanesworth 2.0 he needs to put up or shut up!”

    At this point he just needs to go away.

  12. Ndamukong Scumb bag… hes a bumb that makes the worse choices
    and I bet he was drunk too. thats why he ran. Goodell needs to do the league a favor here

  13. As others have stated……….Suh is Albert Haynesworth II. Suh’s best days were in college, he’s been a bust in the NFL.

  14. LOL @ “I’m advising you to leave now.”

    Steve Vines should never have to buy another beer in his life. He’s now the favorite person of every not-Lions fan.

  15. Dummy. It’s just an accident (albeit his fault) unless he was under the influence. Since I highly doubt that, this becomes a suspend-able crime. What a maroon.

  16. Sounds a little fishy to me. He wasn’t arrested? Kinda sounds like the guy wants a new car from a rich guy.

  17. Scumb bag!! Suh is the lowest form of slime that there is… Even in Detroit. Suh is a dirty player an offensive coordinators an line coaches all over the NFL knows how to shut him down… this makes him average. an the only thing hes got now is his mouth. CUT HIM NOW!!

  18. Guess he was a perfect fit for those trendy Chrysler commercials. Cant wait to see the hit / skip versions.

  19. It’s th “d” man this is how they drive up there, at least he didnt carjack someone then hit and skip with stolen car. Things can lways be worse! Suh is still a gigantic turd.

  20. He is a hot head idiot, the lions suck, and we all saw something like this coming. He obviously did not!

  21. Suh told police it was a legal hit in the side and not from behind. Suh was not flagged for alleged infraction and No further action will be forthcoming from the NFL.

  22. I’m hearing from a reliable source that he may have been interacting with a young lady while driving. I guess several people heard him yelling over and over “I’mgonnacumsoon!!”

    You can’t expect a fella to drive right, right??

    Oh boy.

  23. Ndamukong poo. So glad I don’t jump the bandwagon on this guy 2 years ago. I knew he was garbage at Nebraska. Acts like trash on and off the field. It’s funny to me because even when Detroit is somewhat relevant, they manage to shoot themselves in the foot. The lions are the new bengals of the nfl.

  24. Makes me want to go out and get myself some Allstate, just thinking about the Mayhem that could strike with Suh behind the wheel.

  25. this guy is seriously a bust. he doesnt contribute in games for 3 reasons: 1. he causes trouble off the field 2. he causes trouble on the field 3. hes always suspended it seems for the troubles hes caused. and make it four things cuz really what has he accomplished so far while he has actually been playing

  26. This isn’t even worth joking about. This guy is trash just plain and simple.

    Suh was a one year wonder in college (just like Fairly) and is a one year wonder in the NFL. Sad to see a guy waste such potential talent.

  27. When Suh was coming out of college, all the media reported was what a upstanding citizen he was. Obviously, he isn’t. He is a complete jerk.

  28. dumber than dirt. only a matter of time ’til he injures/kills someone, then he’ll get a real slap on the wrist.

  29. Detroit long ago proved they knew how to lose. Now they need to prove they know how to win – in all ways. So far they are a dismal faikure at it starting with the coach.

  30. “Vines says he called Dearborn, Michigan police, who told him to go to the team’s practice facility and wait for them to arrive. So that’s what Vines did.”

    Sorry, but if that is true it is a disgrace.

    “Sir, you say someone crashed into your car? A big man, he was aggressive as well. What we’d like you to do is go to his place of work. We’ll be along later. Don’t worry about the potential this has for turning into a violent confrontation.”

  31. What a waste of flesh this guy is. This is all a reflection back to the type schwartzy likes. Undisciplined, childish, and overrated. It this story holds true, the NFL and the TEAM need to suspend this head case.

  32. People, There is no way in hell ever, ever, ever, ever a cop would EVER tell an alleged victim to go seek out and or confront an alleged suspect…..EVER, and anyone with an ounce of common sense know that. That is a lie and discredits his whole story. This guy is full of it and is just out for whatever he can get from someone with money.

  33. Albert Haynesworth 2.0. Let’s face it … this is not going to end well. He’s trouble.

  34. Yeah, you moral police that want the Lions to make a point and cut him…you are like the Jets fans. You know the ones that were excited when they signed Aaron Berry.

  35. Hey Mr. Goodell – If this turns out to be true (and I’m not doubting it) then Suh needs to be suspended without pay for a good long while.

    Robocop. Suh flipped him off.

  37. @jboyrocks:

    Please read the article again without your fanboy bias. The police told him to meet THEM at the practice facility, not go there and confront Suh.

    Nice try, though.

  38. ….& the vikings were ripped after the draft for “reaching” for Ponder and not picking this guy 2 years ago…..Rick Spielman is starting to look like a genius a little bit

  39. And police just closed the incident. Suh is not even getting a ticket. It was referred to as a ‘minor traffic incident’.

    Sorry, no news here.

    ——————————–
    Except that he fled the scene and threatened someone…I have seen videos of how the cops in Dearborn operate…They do not have the finest reputation for doing their job properly.

  41. Another piece of trash Detroit Lioness in trouble with the law, again. Way to ‘allegedly” scare/imtidate the victum @Lions HQ. I thought Billy Ford wasn’t going to tolerate this anymore, or is that just for useless cornerbacks?

    yeah, except suh wasn’t in the draft 2 years ago, and suh went 2nd overall, not 12th. rick spielman still look like a genius?

  43. I believe Suh was a jerk, like the guy who’s car was hit was the idiot, but why did the police tell the guy to go to the training camp instead of riding with an officer? If there is anyone I root for getting screwed by people trying to make a buck off the rich is the idiot Suh. Good luck to dude.

  44. Fleeing the scene of an automobile accident in Michigan is a felony. We’ll see how bad he gets hit with a punishment (not).
