Photos released by Maryland Transportation Authority Police show Ravens rookie Nate Wiggins’ Lamborghini rolled onto its side on Interstate 95 after a September crash that prompted the cornerback to miss the team’s home opener in Baltimore.

The package of photos released through a public records request by The Baltimore Sun also includes a brief witness statement written by Wiggins, who said he was driving and had been trying to get into the “last lane” before the crash caused his Lamborghini Urus to flip over.

Wiggins’ passenger, fellow rookie Ryan “Bump” Cooper Jr., also wrote a witness statement but kept it to three words: “I was sleep.”

The Sept. 11 crash on northbound I-95 just ahead of the Fort McHenry Tunnel caused “disabling damage” to both Wiggins’ vehicle and the Acura RDX that his vehicle struck. The photos show the Acura upright with some damage around its right-rear wheel, but Wiggins’ Lamborghini is seen resting on its side in the shoulder.

Police wrote in a crash report that Wiggins’ vehicle had struck the Acura after the cornerback was “cut off by an unknown vehicle.” The 21-year-old had previously described that vehicle as an “18-wheeler” that “clipped” him, resulting in his Lamborghini being “totaled.”

Police placed Wiggins at fault in the crash but did not issue any citations, according to the report.

Authorities wrote in their report that Wiggins, Cooper and the four people in the Acura had suffered “no apparent injury” in the crash. Wiggins, however, was listed with a neck injury on the Ravens’ injury report following the crash, as he missed the team’s home opener against the Las Vegas Raiders and about a week of practice.
