17. You are the only morons who say he had people in the vehicle with him. But other news reports say witnesses saw him driving ALONE when he was cut off by another retard which caused him to crash. What other crap have you and the crapparazos been making up!

18. Peppa, you are retarded. Check the whole story. Shortly after leaving the club, Orlando switched seats with the female driver and drove the car. D U H

19. What a stand-up guy. He got caught ditching his bleeding, injured CHILDHOOD FRIEND...in the middle of the NIGHT. Oh, I forgot, he was more worried about bad press for his uninjured sorry self.

With friends (or human beings) like that....

Trash.

23. I feel so bad for him he just lucky he is still alive. also who cares if he was drunk he still didn't run away from the scean he was still there. and if he was so drunk then he wouldn't have called for help he would of just went and forgot about the whole thing.

27. Oh people come on, This last picture shows him a little better, he looks fine to me. He could've gotten hit on the head and was a little dazed and/or confused. Is there actually any proof that he walked away and that the paps talked him into going back. That would have been something to record.

28. Yes, it's minor. The accident, the injury, etc. Get over it. He wasn't even found to be drinking or using. I'm amazed at all the rumors and misconceptions swirling around, in part because people can't read.

29. As usual, TMZ gets the story wrong and exaggerates the details.
A fractured neck? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

30. It's all minor. the one car accident, the injury, etc. You people have no idea what a bad accident really is. He wasn't under the influence, either. It seems a lot of people can't read.
