Overview
- Dashcam footage and Missouri State Highway Patrol reports show Miller’s Ford Bronco crossed the centerline on June 17, 2026, and struck an oncoming semi‑truck, a crash that ejected him and led to multiple surgeries including the amputation of his left arm.
- Prosecutors filed a Class A misdemeanor in Jasper County accusing Miller of failing to drive on the right half of the roadway, and he is scheduled for an initial court appearance on Sept. 21 in Jasper County Circuit Court.
- Miller remains on indefinite medical leave from ESPN as he recovers from surgeries that doctors expect will require a lengthy rehabilitation period.
- The misdemeanor charge arrives while Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway’s office pursues a consumer‑protection investigation opened after reporting that dozens of people alleged unpaid fantasy payouts and undelivered paid services; the family GoFundMe raised about $51,147 before being paused and is not part of the AG probe.
- If convicted on the traffic charge Miller could face up to a year in jail and fines, and the overlapping criminal case, AG inquiry and paused fundraiser create immediate legal, financial and reputational questions that will be clarified by the September court date and the ongoing state investigation.
