“Just got in the worst car accident of our lives with my wife and kids in Fort Worth, Texas. Scary crash,” Griffin posted. “Thankful to God that my wife and kids are safe.”
Prior to the crash, Griffin said on X, “Jesus is the reason for the Season.”
Police told Fox News Digital it was a “major” four-car crash that occurred shortly before noon CT, but one driver drove off before officers’ arrival.
One person was taken to a hospital with unknown injuries, police added, and the crash is under investigation.

Griffin was the second overall pick by Washington in 2012 after starring at Baylor and winning the Heisman Trophy. However, his starting days were over sooner rather than later after a torn ACL in his rookie season derailed the remainder of his career.
Griffin’s final game was in 2020 as a member of the Baltimore Ravens for a third season. He was with Washington through 2015 and then served as a backup for the Cleveland Browns in 2016.
