Jason Pierre-Paul Involved in Single Car Crash, Released from Hospital

EXCLUSIVE

6:15 PM — Bucs general manager Jason Licht tells TMZ Sports the team’s aware of the incident and says JPP was NOT cited. Licht adds there was a passenger in the car, whose condition is unclear.

Licht went on to say, “Our immediate concern is for the safety and well being of Jason and his passenger. We have been in contact with Jason and will be getting him further evaluated by our medical staff in the near future.”

Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Jason Pierre-Paul was involved in a single car accident in Florida early Thursday morning … TMZ Sports has learned.

JPP crashed his SUV around 5 AM in Broward County … and emergency personnel rushed to the scene to take him to the hospital.

The 30-year-old is not accused of any wrongdoing and he was NOT speeding  — we’re told it was merely an accident.

Sources close to the Super Bowl champ tell us he was released from the hospital and is doing fine.

Pierre-Paul is in the middle of a 4-year, $62 million deal with the Bucs, and as a key member of the defense, we’re assuming the team is monitoring the situation.

This isn’t the first time JPP has had an off-field incident — he infamously had a fireworks accident in 2015, and later returned to the field to perform at a high level.
