ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller said on Tuesday that his left arm was amputated after he got into a “serious car accident.”
“Last week, I was involved in a serious car accident in Missouri and was airlifted to Mercy Hospital. I’m deeply grateful for the exceptional care I have received, from the first responders to the doctors, nurses and medical staff. I’m incredibly fortunate to be writing this,” Miller said.
“As a result of the accident, I sustained significant injuries, including multiple fractures and broken ribs. I also underwent a life-saving amputation of my left arm. While I have a long road ahead, I’m focused on my recovery and taking things one day at a time. Thank you for the overwhelming support, prayers and kind messages — they have meant so much to me and my family during this time,” Miller continued.
“I look forward to continuing my recovery and getting back to ESPN to talk football, including what should be an exciting 2027 NFL Draft class,” he added.

Probably talking on cell phone or texting.
When you can, take a look at his car after the crash.
I do not have the details, but it looks like he must have run into a speeding train. The phrase smashed accordion comes to mind. Even after going through the terror of losing an arm, already, he is sounding clear, articulate and even hopeful for the future.
I hope I can be nearly as positive should such a calamity is ever sent for me.
Semi collision.
Pictures of the vehicle at link...............
He could have been driving with his window down and his arm hanging outside, and then got broad sided.
That’s what happened to my late father in law.
I saw the pics. Collided with a semi...........he was driving a 2023 Bronco, and lived.....................
Maybe a carjacking and the victim was unarmed.
Looks like it was a 6G Bronco.
I would expect he’ll be on the disabled list for a while.

I guess it just wasn’t his ‘time’.
Uncle Albert: "What was the name of his other arm?"

Well, his canoeing days are over................

Pfffft! That’ll buff right out!
HE CROSSED OVER THE CENTER LINE IN A BRONCO-HIT A SEMI
Lucky to be alive. Albeit with one less appendage.
More on the accident here. An initial report, but the article has since been updated. It would have been interesting to see the original version...
Per the above, Miller crossed the center line and hit the semi.
He didn’t mention that. He might not well remember.
