Raiders' Josh Jacobs New Crash Photos ... Show Smashed $160K Supercar

More proof Josh Jacobs is lucky he wasn't critically injured ... 'cause TMZ Sports has obtained photos of the Las Vegas Raiders star's 6-figure Acura NSX -- and it's destroyed.
As we previously reported, the 22-year-old running back was involved in a single-car accident around 4:42 AM near the Vegas airport on January 4.
Jacobs was transported to the hospital with a gnarly gash on his forehead. As nasty as the injury was ... it's now clear it could've been a lot worse.
The photos -- taken at a Sin City tow yard the day of the accident -- show the purple 2019 Acura NSX with HEAVY damage to the front of the vehicle.
The NSX -- license plate "IAM28" (Josh's Raiders #) -- retails for about $160K ... and goes 0-60 in under 3 seconds, and has a top speed of about 190 MPH.
Officials initially suspected Jacobs might've been under the influence of alcohol, but blood alcohol tests indicated his BAC was "below the legal limit and therefore DUI charges are not being filed against him," according to the DA.
Legally, Jacobs didn't escape totally unscathed ... he was hit with 1 misdemeanor charge of "Duty of Driver to Decrease Speed Under Certain Circumstances."
Most importantly, the 2019 1st round draft pick out of Alabama -- who rushed for 1,065 yards and 12 touchdowns last season -- wasn't more seriously injured.
As dope as the supercar is ... it can be replaced.

6:57 AM PT -- 2/8 -- Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid finally broke his silence about the crash after the Super Bowl ... saying his "heart bleeds" for the victims.
"I know I haven't had a chance to address you since the accident happened that my son was involved in," Reid told the media Sunday evening.
"My heart goes out to all those who were involved in the accident, particularly the family with the little girl who's fighting for her life."
Reid said the whole thing is a "tough situation" and he's been advised by his legal team to not comment on the accident or the investigation.
But Reid added, "Just from a human standpoint, man, my heart bleeds for everybody involved in that."
2:56 PM PT -- 2/6 -- We just learned new information about the 5-year-old who was left injured in the car crash to which Britt Reid has been linked -- she's a little girl, and she's fighting for her life.
A GoFundMe has been started for Ariel, who's been identified as the child severely injured in the crash. Her family says she's suffered major brain damage -- namely swelling and internal bleeding. Her aunt posted photos of her in the hospital with a ventilator attached ... she says Ariel hasn't woken up since the accident.
She goes on to explain that Ariel's mother is a single mom with three kids ... and that the money they're raising here will go toward medical bills and to cover time off work her mom will miss. They've got a goal of $45k, and are about halfway there now.
K.C. Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid -- son of head coach Andy Reid -- reportedly told cops he consumed alcohol and Rx medication before a bad 3-car crash Thursday night that left a 5-year-old in critical condition.
It's all spelled out in a search warrant obtained by KCTV ... in which officers say the 35-year-old reeked of booze and had bloodshot eyes in the moments after the accident.
According to the warrant, Reid ADMITTED to officers he had consumed 2 to 3 drinks earlier in the evening and was on Adderall, a prescription medication.
As part of the investigation, cops say they took 4 vials of blood from Reid to test his blood alcohol levels.
Plus, they note Red did not perform well on field sobriety tests.
Officials confirm the crash occurred around 9 PM -- just minutes from Arrowhead Stadium.
As for the crash, officials believe Reid was driving a pickup truck that slammed into 2 cars that were pulled over on the side of an on-ramp to the I-435 highway.
One of the cars had reportedly run out of gas and had called for another vehicle to assist -- when Reid's truck came crashing into both vehicles.
A 5-year-old in one of the vehicles sustained critical injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries.
A 4-year-old child was also in one of the vehicles but miraculously suffered only minor injuries.
The Chiefs released a statement Friday ... saying, "The organization has been made aware of a multi-vehicle accident involving Outside Linebackers Coach, Britt Reid."
"We are in the process of gathering information, and we will have no further comment at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved."
The Chiefs are preparing to play the Tampa Bay Bucs in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
The Chicago Sun-Times is now reporting Britt is NOT expected to travel with the team to Tampa Bay for the game.
Britt spent several months in jail in 2007 following multiple disturbing allegations -- including a road rage incident and crashing his truck in a parking lot while under the influence, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Andy Reid's oldest son, Garrett, also had issues with substance abuse -- he was sentenced to 23 months behind bars for a 2007 crash while he was high on heroin.
Garrett struggled with addiction for years and ultimately died of a heroin overdose in 2012 while in his room at the Philadelphia Eagles training camp, while his father was coaching the team.

Great news for Josh Jacobs and the Raiders ... the massive gash the NFL star suffered on his forehead after crashing his car in Las Vegas last month is healing up well.
The running back showed off his face in videos on his social media page Wednesday ... and you can see, there's hardly any remnants of the huge cut that was so prevalent on his noggin just four weeks ago.
As we previously reported, Jacobs sustained the wound after wrecking his ride at around 4:42 a.m. on Jan. 4 near the Vegas airport.
Cops say when they came on to the scene ... they saw the 22-year-old was bleeding from a "large laceration" on his forehead. Officers added the injuries were so bad, Jacobs had to be transported to the hospital for treatment.
Jacobs -- who just hours before the crash had dominated in a game against the Denver Broncos -- was ultimately arrested over the wreck ... with cops believing he had been drinking prior to getting behind the wheel.
Prosecutors, though, announced just a few days after the accident they were NOT charging the NFL player with DUI ... and instead, hit him with one misdemeanor count of Duty of Driver to Decrease Speed Under Certain Circumstances.
Jacobs' attorneys, David Z. Chesnoff and Richard A. Schonfeld, said they were pleased with how the case was handled ... and, clearly, they're even happier to see Jacobs has appeared to have avoided any long-term physical trauma.

Kevin Hart's new muscle car is packing more power under the hood than his last one that wrecked ... and this souped-up ride's got some critical, upgraded safety features.
Kevin's new set of wheels -- a revamped 1970 Dodge Charger dubbed "Hellraiser" -- has an insanely powerful 1,000-horsepower Hemi engine. And, with all that HP it has potentially life-saving, 4-point racing seat belts and a roll cage.
Remember ... Kevin's 1970 Barracuda did not have a 5-point harness and roll cage, which car experts say could have spared him the horrendous injuries he suffered in Sept., 2019, when his friend crashed in the Malibu Hills. KH needed spinal surgery and lengthy rehab.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Sounds like the "Hellraiser" could leave Kevin's old Barracuda in the dust ... his new ride has power for days under the hood ... a 7.0-liter Hellephant 426 Hemi Crate engine with 950 lb-ft of torque routing through an 8-speed automatic transmission!!!
As we first told you ... Kevin recently dropped several hundred thousand dollars on the "Hellraiser" from SpeedKore in Wisconsin, the same company that tricked out his Barracuda.

Kevin Hart isn't letting that horrific 2019 car wreck hold him back from one of his passions ... he's about to add another souped-up whip to his collection, and it's a BEAST.

We're told Kevin's getting it delivered next week, so keep an eye out for the full unveiling. Unclear how much horsepower this one will be packing, but we know Kevin likes 'em fast.
As we first reported, Kevin was in the passenger seat, and a friend was driving, when they crashed in the Malibu Hills. Kevin's 1970 Barracuda was totally mangled. Ditto for his back ... KH needed spinal surgery, but fully recovered after a lengthy rehab.
SpeedKore had also tricked out that Barracuda, but Kev's going back to that well.

Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns says he was hit by a drunk driver in Los Angeles before the 2020-21 NBA season ... and he was hospitalized.
The 25-year-old went public about the incident Thursday night during a social media Q&A with fans ... when he was asked how he's stayed strong after overcoming so much over the past few years.
Of course, KAT has been through a lot ... especially when it comes to COVID. He lost his mother to the virus back in April -- and several other family members have died since.
Also, KAT tested positive for COVID earlier this month -- but seems to be doing okay.
Towns gave a ton of credit to his girlfriend Jordyn Woods -- saying she's been there for him through it all ... including a car accident nobody knew about.
"My woman has held me down more than the world knows," Karl-Anthony said ... "From my mother and family members dying (1 on her bday in Cabo), getting hit by a drunk driver (was 2pm in the afternoon FYI) in LA this off-season and staying with me in the hospital for the night and helping me in rehab."
He also credited Jordyn for helping him through his current stint with COVID.
"My love for her knows no bounds and I would be remiss if I don't acknowledge the power a good woman can have in your life."
We called KAT's reps to find out more about the car accident -- but so far, no word back. We're also out to law enforcement, the Timberwolves and more.

Bam Margera Stolen Bentley Crashes Into House ... 'I Can't Write This S***!!!'
4:22 PM PT -- The San Diego County Sheriff's Department tells TMZ ... deputies responded to a call at a gas station around 1:30 AM Wednesday and saw several men climbing into a black Bentley. We're told the Bentley quickly drove off, followed by the deputy, who tried to make a stop, but 2 of the men inside fled on foot and the rest sped off into a residential neighborhood.
The SDCSD says the Bentley evaded deputies, but only temporarily, and when deputies found the car crashed into a house it was unoccupied.
We're told a Sheriff's helicopter helped find one of the men cops say took the Bentley, and he was arrested for a parole violation and is still in jail.
The good news ... law enforcement says no one inside the home was injured by the car crash.
Bam Margera's Bentley had one helluva ride ... a thief stole the car and crashed into someone's front porch during a wild police pursuit ... and it's on video.
The "Jackass" star says his expensive whip was stolen Tuesday night in Vista, CA, where he had stopped to charge his phone and get gas on his way to his shaman's house.
Bam says he looked out a store window to discover his car was missing, and then suddenly a bunch of cop cars swarmed and police helicopters appeared overhead and the chase was on.
BM says the high-speed chase ended when the thief crashed his whip into a house ... and video shows the Bentley stopped on someone's front lawn, right up against a house, with tons of police on the scene.
The only good news here ... sources close to Bam tell us the car was NOT totaled, but it's been towed to a dealer and needs some repairs.
Oh, and the icing on the cake -- Bam says his phone ended up in someone else's hands too!!!
We think he summed it up best while talking to his buddy, Danny Way ... "I can't write this s*** dude!!!"

12:38 PM PT -- Daniel says he had nothing to do with this legal response to Corey's parent's lawsuit. Daniel, in an Instagram Story, said an insurance company filed the docs on his behalf and added he wasn't given the opportunity to review the response before it was filed in court.
Daniel said he had to respond because he could not "let this misunderstanding continue" without saying "they do not reflect my personal beliefs or feelings about what happened that night."
"Ink Master" star Daniel Silva has responded to Corey La Barrie's wrongful death lawsuit ... claiming Corey's death was partly his own doing.
Daniel filed legal docs responding to claims from the YouTuber's parents -- Simon La Barrie and Lissa Burton. The docs say the car crash that led to Corey's death was due to his own negligence, and he assumed the risk of death when he jumped into Daniel's car that fateful night back in May.
TMZ broke the story ... Corey's parents believe Daniel and his company, Daniel Silva Tattoos, were negligent in the moments leading up to Corey's death on his 25th birthday. Daniel wrecked a black McLaren sports car after leaving a party with Corey.
Corey's parents say excessive speed caused the crash ... and Daniel was the one with his foot on the pedal.
The parents also claim Daniel was under the influence ... something a source close to Daniel disputes.
As we first reported ... Daniel was arrested and later charged with murder ... with the L.A. County D.A.'s Office saying Daniel acted with malice the night of the crash.
Daniel pled no contest to vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence. He was sentenced to 4 years in state prison, but that sentence was suspended. Instead, he got 365 days in county jail. He also got 5 years probation and 250 hours of community service.

Josh Jacobs is clearly VERY lucky to be alive today ... TMZ Sports has obtained the mug shot from just after the NFL star's car wreck this week -- and you can see he suffered a GNARLY head wound in the crash.
As we previously reported, cops say Jacobs wrecked his ride at round 4:42 AM near the Las Vegas airport on Monday.
And, in new police docs obtained by TMZ Sports, officers say Jacobs smelled like booze when they found him at the crash site.
In the docs, cops claim as Jacobs was explaining to them why he had crashed ... "a moderate odor of an unknown alcoholic beverage" was coming from the Raiders running back's mouth.
Cops say Jacobs was bleeding from a "large laceration" on his forehead as well ... and the officers added the 22-year-old told them he believed he had fallen asleep at the wheel just before the crash.
In the docs, officers say Jacobs was treated for his injuries and was transported to the hospital ... and once there, cops questioned him further about drinking and driving.
Cops say they performed a sobriety test on the NFL player while he was laying in his hospital bed ... but they say he passed that.
Still, officers in the docs claim he "did however have a strong odor of alcohol coming from his person."
Cops in the docs also say at some point during the morning Jacobs admitted to drinking before getting behind the wheel.
Cops claim they also reviewed surveillance video from the crash and believed they had enough to arrest Josh on suspicion of DUI.
For his part, Josh -- through his attorneys David Z. Chesnoff and Richard A. Schonfeld -- denied that he was drunk behind the wheel.
"We intend to enter a not guilty plea on behalf of Mr. Jacobs if he is ever charged," they said in a statement.
Jacobs had starred in the Raiders' win over the Broncos just hours before the crash in Vegas ... running for 89 yards and 2 TDs on 15 carries.

Hit and Run Driver Hits Car, Flees, Smashes into Second Car
This kid needs driver's ed, stat. And, while he's at it, a conscience would also be helpful.
The teenager was driving his mom's car and, apparently, sideswiped a car in what looks like a mall parking lot ... we think it's in Alabama.
Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.
The kid drives away after being asked for insurance info, then crashes into another car before exiting and jogging off.
The kid tells the lady whose car he struck, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. It's my mom's car." For the record, not meaning to hit another car is still negligence.
Well, the law requires the kid to exchange info with the other driver. But, when she asks for his insurance card and says she's calling the cops, he gets in his Honda SUV and flees, but not for long. The kid then annihilates a pickup truck.
The teen apparently decides fleeing at this point would be a bad idea, so he goes toward one of the stores ... possibly to call his mom.

Wild Road Rage Video Madman in Truck Rams Woman's Car Over and Over and Over!!!
It's a road rage incident straight outta the movies, but a Canadian woman thought she was gonna die for real when this truck driver repeatedly slammed into her tiny sedan.
The terror went down in Winnipeg when a woman named Kiana Jobo said this guy in a Chevy Colorado pickup truck boxed her in at an intersection and got extremely aggressive before following her and ramming her Hyundai.
You can hear Kiana's panic, understandably, in the video her passenger recorded ... you see the truck coming at her from all sides, and at one point her passenger window shatters prompting Kiana's friend to yell, "This guy's trying to kill us!"
Kiana says he hit her so hard she slammed into parked cars ... before she was finally able to escape by speeding away and blowing through stop signs. She did report him to cops who say he'll be charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle.
What sparked this madness? Kiana says the truck driver got pissed because she inched up too close behind him in an intersection where she was trying to make a left. From there she says he started "honking his horn and flipping me off,"
When super-kind Canadians gotta deal with this kinda road rage ... it must be 2020.

Salt-N-Pepa Pepa Sues Doctor ... You Botched My Butt!!!

Exclusive
- 1.6K shares
Pepa from Salt-N-Pepa can't shake her thang without pain and discomfort, because she claims a doctor pressured her into multiples butt surgeries and botched them.
Sandra Denton, better known as Pep, is suing Dr. David Sayah for negligence, claiming he talked her into 3 separate procedures to repair damage she suffered in a July 2018 car accident.
In legal docs, she says the wreck made the biopolymer injections she previously had in her butt and hips shift, leaving her in extreme discomfort. Pep says she was referred to Dr. Sayah in Sept. 2019 to help her out, and the plan was to remove the biopolymer material and butt implants to relieve her pain.
According to the suit, the doctor initially convinced Pep to simply replace her butt implants with smaller ones ... because she claims he told her she'd be distraught if she went back to her au natural derriere.
Instead, Pep alleges Sayah performed an unsuccessful liposuction, which required yet another corrective surgery.
Before that one went down ... she claims Dr. Sayah pressured her into a different procedure which caused her buttocks to harden and knot up -- making it difficult and stressful for her to perform on stage.
She claims the third and final surgery was in Feb. 2020 when Sayah finally removed the biopolymer material ... or so she thought.
Pep says she went to another doctor because her butt was still hurting and, after an MRI, discovered a "large amount of biopolymer silicone and dead scar tissue remaining."
Pepa's suing Dr. Sayah for allegedly disfiguring her and says she'll likely suffer from the injuries for the rest of her life. She also says she's gonna need even more surgery.
