Miami Heat player Haywood Highsmith was involved in a car accident on Tuesday night, following a game in Miami. Reports suggest that the crash left one man in critical condition with a partially amputated leg. Highsmith, a 27-year-old undrafted free agent, was driving home after the Heat's game against the Orlando Magic, in which he played for three minutes. According to local reporter Andy Slater, Highsmith hit a man who was assisting another driver stuck in the middle of the road. The man who was struck remains in critical condition. The Miami Heat issued a statement expressing their concern for those injured in the accident.
