Minnesota Vikings rookie WR Jordan Addison was recently charged with speeding at 140 mph. The state has a rule of suspending a license if someone drives over 100 mph. He could also face more strict consequences for his actions. But the investigation still needs to be completed.
After the alleged incident, Vikings finally released a statement about the matter. Let’s delve into the details of the incident and the statement released by the Vikings about Addison’s involvement in the reckless driving case.
Vikings release statement on Jordan Addison’s reckless driving case
The incident occurred on Thursday morning, the next day Vikings released a statement about the matter stating that they are aware of this matter.
The team further stated that before taking any actions or giving any clarification they will gather more information about the matter.
“We are aware of last night’s traffic incident involving Jordan Addison and are gathering additional information.”
Besides license suspension, some sources have revealed that he could also be fined a $2,5000 fine and a jail sentence of up to one year. Once the team gets done with the investigation then further decisions will be made.
Jordan Addison was caught overspeeding
Jordan was caught driving 85 mph over the speed limit. A Minnesota State Patrol trooper spotted a driver driving a Lamborghini at 140 miles per hour in a 55-mile-per-hour zone. When he stopped the car he found that the driver was none other than the WR of the Vikings, Jordan Addison.
The State Patrol trooper gave the WR a citation for reckless driving and speeding. Everyone was waiting for the team’s statement about the matter. But the team revealed that they are still investigating the matter. When it’s done, only then will it be clarified whether Jordan Addison was wrongly accused or is really responsible for overspeeding.
If he is convicted of the crime, he could face disciplinary actions from the league office or even the Vikings. However, what impact it’d have on his rookie season is still unknown.
