Car Crashes

Jacksonville Jaguars' Denard Robinson is almost off the hook in his bizarre pond accident ... 'cause all he has to do is pay a small court-ordered fine.

The 25-year-old running back was cited for careless driving after crossing a few lanes of traffic and crashing his car into a retention pond on July 3rd.

According to Florida Times-Union's Larry Hannan, Robinson just pled no contest to the citation. The judge ordered him to pay $100 fine and said he'll get no points on his driving record.

Robinson was not present in court, but sent his attorney, Henry Coxe, on his behalf. He argued Robinson's car drifted after he fell asleep at a red light ... but barely went into the water.

Coxe gave us a picture that shows where Robinson's car was when the tow truck showed up.

The Prius driver who collided with Kris Jenner Wednesday in Calabasas says it doesn't matter who caused the crash ... the person with the most power wins.

Jack -- he wouldn't give his last name -- told our photog he needs a lawyer to help determine his next move, but he frets about the clear power imbalance between him and the famous Rolls-Royce driver.

Jack's got problems ... according to all accounts, he caused the crash by cutting in front of her.

Modest Mouse lead singer Isaac Brock admits falling asleep while driving -- which caused a chain reaction wreck -- and only a stroke of luck separated him from Caitlyn Jenner's fate.

Brock dozed off Wednesday while driving in Portland, OR ... and smashed into the back of a city parks vehicle, which hit a 3rd, which hit a 4th and a 5th. From the the looks of it Brock's Land Rover got the worst of the pileup.

He told TMZ ... "I feel asleep at the wheel, nodded off and next thing I knew there was a car." He says he suffered a bruised sternum from the airbag, but says it definitely saved his life.

One other driver was hospitalized with a concussion. Police checked Brock for impairment, but he passed. He was only cited for careless driving.

It's interesting, Jenner was eventually tagged with inattentive driving for the PCH wreck last year, but due to there being a fatality ... she was initially investigated for vehicular manslaughter. The D.A. ended up rejecting the case.

Kris Jenner was just involved in a car wreck off the 101 freeway near her home and we're told the impact was bad enough that she may have broken her wrist.

Law enforcement sources tell us Kris' white Rolls-Royce collided with a Prius -- the force of the impact deployed her airbag and absolutely destroyed the front end.

A Kardashian source tells us the Prius ran a red light. A law enforcement source tells TMZ it appears Kris was driving on a surface street when the Prius cut in front of her trying to get onto the 101 and caused the collision.

We're told Kris is being treated on scene by paramedics ... who we're told did not want to remove her from the car for fear of exacerbating her injury.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Denard Robinson says he's "blessed" that he didn't hurt or kill anyone when he crashed his car into a pond earlier this month ... saying, "The situation could have been a lot worse."

Robinson spoke with reporters Thursday about the July 3rd accident -- in which his Impala drifted across several lanes of traffic and crashed into a retention pond. Cops say Robinson and a female passenger were asleep in the sinking car when help arrived.

"I fell asleep at the light ... I was at the light sitting there waiting and I ended up dozing off. It was late at night and I had a busy day. It was one of those days where I should’ve just stayed in."

He was also adamant he was NOT under the influence of drugs or alcohol -- saying, "If that was the case, I would’ve had a DUI."

FYI, Robinson was not arrested -- as the responding officer did not believe Robinson showed signs of intoxication.

Still, Denard says he's happy no one was hurt.

"I feel blessed, because it could have been a situation where I wasn’t talking to you right now ... The situation could’ve been way worse."

"I could’ve hurt somebody or killed somebody, so I’m truly blessed that nothing happened to nobody. I came out with no scratches and my passenger was the same way."

Dennis Rodman has been named a "person of interest" in a hit-and-run investigation in Santa Ana, CA -- after a late night collision Wednesday morning ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Bizarre footage of the moments before Jacksonville Jaguars running back Denard Robinson's car crashed into a pond -- and you can see the vehicle aimlessly drifting across several lanes of traffic.

The footage shows the Chevy Impala slowly drifting into oncoming traffic around 4:20 AM on July 3rd ... before it ultimately goes over an embankment and into a retention pond.

Cops responded to the scene and had to pull Robinson and a female passenger out of the sinking car. Cops say Robinson and the woman were asleep as the car was sinking.

Talk about cool under pressure ...

Johnny Manziel couldn't have been more polite and composed in the moments after he was T-boned in a hit-and-run incident in Dallas last month ... at least judging by the 911 call.

TMZ Sports obtained the audio from the June 20th incident -- in which Manziel reports that his car door was smashed in by a 4-door Charger that sped off after the collision.

"I'm okay. I'm not hurt ... but I was definitely just in an accident."

Johnny said he also had a witness who will vouch that the QB did nothing wrong.

But the best part of the call is when the dispatcher asks for the caller's name -- and you hear the voice sheepishly respond, "Jonathan Manziel."

As we previously reported, cops are investigating the crash. As for Johnny, he refused medical attention and left for Cabo a few days later.

Ice-T's got no parallel parking game.

The actor was leaving the set of 'Law and Order: SVU' with plenty of room on either side of his Mercedes SL55, but couldn't clear the space without hitting the car behind him.

Selena Gomez has a lead foot -- at least in reverse -- and a poor innocent fence paid the price.

Rock band My Morning Jacket allegedly caused a car accident so bad it disfigured the victim ... who's now taking the guys to court.

Margarito Gonzalez filed a lawsuit against singer Jim James and the band. Gonzalez claims James was behind the wheel of a Mazda 2 driving the other MMJ members in Denver when he struck his car. In the suit, Gonzalez says the singer was driving recklessly and following too closely.

Gonzalez says James' negligence injured him so badly, it's stopping him from enjoying his life as he did before the 2013 wreck.

Cops in Jacksonville say Jaguars running back Denard Robinson had to climb out of a window of a car that was sinking in a pond this weekend ... after the 25-year-old fell asleep behind the wheel.

According to the police report, obtained by FOX 30, Robinson's Chevy Impala had gone down an embankment and into a retention pond around 4:20 AM on July 3rd ... and was slowly sinking.

When officers arrived on scene, they saw a passed out Robinson in the driver's seat and a female passenger next to him. The driver's side door was submerged in the water.

An officer knocked on the door -- but Robinson opened his eyes and then went back to sleep.

The responding officer explained ... "I continued to knock on the window until the passenger woke up and rolled the window down and said, 'What's up.'"

"I explained that their vehicle was in a pond and that they needed to exit," the officer wrote in the report.

Despite the sinking situation, the officer says the woman REFUSED to exit the car and had to be physically pulled to safety.

The cop says he was able to unlock the car -- and went back for Robinson.

Problem is ... Robinson believed he was on the road and refused to step out of the vehicle.

Eventually, Robinson realized the situation -- but the drama continued.

"The driver tried about three times to open the driver’s door which was the side that was underwater. I had to keep reminding the driver to climb out of the passenger side because his door was in the water."

Robinson got out -- and officers immediately checked him out to see if he was drunk or high ... but cops concluded he was NOT impaired.

Johnny Manziel has a pretty solid witness in his hit-and-run accident -- a U.S. Army soldier who says the QB didn't do anything wrong when he was T-boned in Dallas last month.

Johnny Manziel says he can explain how his car got wrecked in Dallas -- claiming he was the VICTIM in a brutal hit-and-run crash and the cops are involved.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Manziel's Nissan GTR sustained all sorts of damage to the driver's side of the car this week ... in an incident that also set off his airbags.

We spoke with Manziel's rep, Denise Michaels, who tells us ... "Johnny told me his car was T-boned and the driver just rode away right after. He reported it to police."

But here's the weird thing ... we spoke with Dallas PD and as of Tuesday afternoon, we were told there was no record of an incident involving Manziel.

9:14 AM PT -- The Dallas PD is now saying they DO have a report from Manziel -- though it's unclear when the report was filed.

Cops say the accident occurred Monday night -- and Manziel claims he has a witness from his car and an impartial witness who can corroborate his story.

More troubling photos involving Johnny Manziel -- a car owned by the ex-NFL star was clearly involved in a bad accident in Dallas ... with the driver's side completely smashed in.

One of the "Sons of Anarchy" and a 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle' teamed up for a real life rescue mission -- pulling a guy from an overturned car ... TMZ has learned.

'SOA' star Tommy Flanagan and Alan Ritchson -- Raphael from the latest 'TMNT' movie -- were headed to the Houston airport on Sunday after a comic con event ... when they saw a truck blow a tire and flip across the highway.

The driver of the wrecked truck, Jonathan Elder, tells us the actors rushed to pull his unconscious brother out of the passenger seat. In a scene straight out of an action flick ... he says 'Raphael' and 'Chibs' used a crowbar to free his bro right before the truck caught fire.

BTW ... the guy driving Tommy and Alan to the airport is a military vet who provided medical assistance until emergency crews arrived. Tommy took a pic with him after the incident.

Talk about a dream team.
