PORTLAND, Ore. - Two women say they were injured when
Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (ehn-DAHM'-uh-kehn
soo) crashed his car into a tree in downtown Portland over the
weekend.
Portland police had originally said there were no injuries in
the accident early Saturday morning. But police said Monday that
two passengers later came forward to say they were hurt and left
the scene before officers arrived.
Sgt. Pete Simpson says one woman reported suffering bruises and
soreness and the other reported a cut to her forehead and a black
eye. Their names were not released.
Suh told police he was trying to avoid a stopped taxicab when he
lost control of the 1970 Chevrolet Coupe he was driving. The car
hit a curb, light pole, drinking fountain and tree.
Police say Suh was not impaired and was not issued a citation.
They are not re-opening the investigation.
Suh declined to comment to KGW-TV.
