Linebacker Arrested in Fatal Crash University of Miami linebacker Adarius Hayes was arrested following a high-speed crash in Pinellas County that resulted in three fatalities. Authorities allege that Hayes’ reckless driving-including aggressive lane changes and excessive speed-caused the collision. Previously cited for speeding and lane violations, Hayes had his license suspended briefly in 2023 for failing to complete driving school. Miami Athletics announced his indefinite suspension from all athletic activities under departmental policy as the investigation continues.
