A woman called 911 a few minutes after former NFL star Alex Collins’ motorbike had collided with an SUV in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, Sunday night.
Collins, 28, was riding a 2004 Suzuki GSX-600K in Lauderdale Lakes when a woman, riving a Chevrolet Suburban made a turn, crossing over the same lane as the ex-athlete, which caused him to collide with the rear passenger side of the SUV.
In the 911 call that followed, a “hysterical” woman told the police that she did not realize the force of the collision had sent Collins flying into her vehicle. “I can’t find him!” she can be heard telling the emergency operator in the audio, according to TMZ Sports.
