[Baltimore Sun] Ravens rookie Nate Wiggins provides details on recent car accident involving Lamborghini
Read Time:1 Minute, 54 Second
Ravens first-round draft pick Nate Wiggins addressed the media Thursday for the first time since getting in a car accident two weeks ago.
The rookie cornerback said after practice in Owings Mills that an 18-wheeler “clipped me” and that his car — a Lamborghini — rolled over in the Sept. 11 crash and was “totaled” as a result. Asked what road the crash occurred on, he said he couldn’t remember but did add that he was about “two minutes” away from his apartment.
“It was scary,” said Wiggins, a cornerback the Ravens drafted 30th overall out of Clemson in April. “It’s always scary to get in a car accident.”
Both Maryland State Police and Baltimore County Police told The Baltimore Sun they had no record of the crash.
He is at least the third Ravens player to have gotten into an accident this season. Tight end Mark Andrews and linebacker Josh Ross were also involved in crashes.
Following the latest accident, Wiggins, 21, sat out Baltimore’s home-opening loss to the Las Vegas Raiders with a neck injury and concussion. He returned to practice last week and played in Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Wiggins, who made his first start, played 38 snaps, had two tackles and a forced fumble, but was flagged for holding, pass interference and illegal contact.
He has also struggled in other ways. Through two games, Wiggins has allowed a quarterback rating of 118.7 while surrendering four catches on five targets for 82 yards. He has four tackles.
Still, Wiggins was happy to just be back on the field.
“Once I knew I could get back on the field I knew I was 100%,” he said. “Just gotta keep working.”
