Ndamukong Suh's public image continues to take a beating even though he's on an unpaid vacation from the Detroit Lions.

CAPTIONBy Jim Z. Rider, US Presswire

The all-pro defensive tackle was in a one-car accident early Saturday morning in his hometown of Portland, Ore., while serving a two-game suspension from the NFL. Initial reports indicated he and his two passengers were fine after his vintage 1970 Chevrolet Coupe hit a tree downtown.

But a report from Portland's NewsChannel 8 suggests that's not entirely accurate.

A third passenger was apparently in the vehicle while two of them have come forward to amend their statements to police.

"When the light turned green, he floored it," one of them told KGW regarding Suh's driving. "I just remember going so fast and it was violent and just getting thrown around like rag dolls."

The revised police report says two passengers were hospitalized for various cuts and bruises and one was seriously hurt even though Suh initially told 911 callers everyone was fine.

None of the passengers wanted their names publicly disclosed.

"He was driving too fast and reckless all the time. There was never a taxi (involved in the accident). He was just going too fast and he could have killed someone," said one of the passengers in the police report while also claiming Suh was more concerned about protecting his image than aiding his passengers.

Here is a transcript of Suh's call to 911:

Operator: "911."
Suh: "Yes, I just got into an accident off of Ankeny and 4th."
Operator: "Do you need an ambulance?"
Suh: "No, I don't think so. I think everybody's fine."
Operator: "We have other calls about this. Hold on a second here."
Suh: "OK."
Operator: "We have reports it's a car into a tree. Is that you?"
Suh: "Yes."
Operator: "OK, are you sure you don't need an ambulance?"
Suh: "Yes, everybody's fine."
Operator: "OK, and were you in the car that hit the tree?"
Suh: "I'm the driver, I'm the driver, I'm the driver."
Operator: "I'll let them know you're refusing emergency — excuse me, medics. Hold on just a second."
Suh: "Officer! Officer! Officer!"
Operator: "He's looking for you. I'll let him know you're at 4th and Ankeny. What's your name?"
Suh: "Suh is the last name: S-U-H. (To officer) How you doing? I slipped off the (indiscernible) when I was coming out. (To operator) Say that again."
Operator: "Just your first name and your phone number, sir."
Suh: "N-D-A-M-U-K-O-N-G."
Operator: "Thank you. What's the phone number for you, please?"
Suh: (Withheld).
Operator: "Thank you very much, sir."
Suh: "Thank you."

Suh served the first half of his suspension Sunday night. After a series of flagrant fouls over his first 27 games, he was punished after stomping on Packers G Evan Dietrich-Smith during the Lions' Thanksgiving Day loss.

I don't think it's that big a deal. He wrecked his car, just like thousands of other kids in their 20s. Seems like he has some growing up to do, but I don't think it's a huge deal.

He's a sociopath.

The photo seems to corroborate the initial reporting, that the roads were slick and his car slid into a tree.

I'm more pissed that he ****ed up a sweet looking Chevelle SS.

Well yeah.

Suh seems to think he's Bo freaking Duke. FAIL!

If Ndamukong buys a MOPAR? This never happens.

Was the third passenger in the trunk?

Toadkiller · 12-06-2011, 09:24 AM

Friggen roads werent slick. In fact we have been having nice weather this past week, no rain. It was cold out, maybe even got frost that night but no ice on the roads or anything.

Did the passengers get hurt in the wreck, or did he stomp on them.

If a person has ever driven one of those cars, they would know the roads don't need to be slick to get out of control.

When the description said 70 Chevrolet Coupe, I immediately thought Big Block Chevelle and that is what it appears to be.

True, but the article said the roads were slick. The whole PNW has been dry since a little after Thanksgiving, so that's BS.

He's fine. I think he learned from the "stomping" incident and will cool off some. He'll have a long dominant career.
