One witness said the NFL star was racing a motorcyclist.

Leonard Fournette is a football player who is currently in an interesting position in his career. Overall, he has been a very solid running back. However, he is currently a free agent. Once you become a free-agent running back, it can be hard to get back into the swing of things. However, Fournette still has talent, and there is likely a team still out there who could use him. Moreover, he could be a solid option just in case any big-name running backs get injured. In a league like the NFL, you can never be too safe.

Recently, Leonard Fournette got into a fairly life-threatening situation. He was driving on the Hillsborough County highway when his car burst into flames. At the time of the incident, Fournette claimed that the car had been having issues as of late. Based on the video from TMZ, it all looked incredibly scary. Additionally, fans were quick to express their gratitude that Fournette was okay. After all, this is one of those deals that could have been fatal without fast action.

Leonard Fournette Hit With New Accusation

Unfortunately, it seems as though Leonard Fournette has been hit with some allegations. According to TMZ, a witness on the scene claims that they actually saw the NFL star racing a motorcycle with intense speed. He subsequently claims that fire began to swell underneath Fournette's car. This eventually led to him being broken down on the side of the road, with a car engulfed in flames. Regardless of this witness statement, it seems like the police have no interest in investigating what took place.

Overall, it is just good to see that Fournette is doing okay. If he was, indeed, racing, then perhaps this is a wake-up call. If he wasn't racing, well then this was just very unfortunate. Either way, his health is all that matters in the situation. Stay tuned to HNHH as we will continue to provide updates on this developing story.
