Leonard is okay and was able to drive home.
Appreciate everyone that has reached out to check on him.
The crash occurred around 11:40 a.m. on I-295 southbound near Heckscher Drive and the Dames Point Bridge, according to FHP.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Fournette's car was the front car in the chain. The driver of a Buick that rear-ended another car was at fault and was cited for careless driving.
Of course, many were quick to erroneously blame the Patriots organization...
