The Cincinnati Bengals‘ cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt finds himself in an alarming situation just days after serving jail for reckless driving. New video evidence of the player’s late-night collision in November has resurfaced, revealing how it all unfolded. The mishap took place just one day after the cornerback suffered a season-ending injury during the match against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

A new clip capturing the crash that occurred around 3 a.m. on November 15 in Covington, Kentucky, has been circulating. In the security camera footage from the neighborhood shared by Local 12 News’ reporter Meghan Mongillo, a black Jeep is speeding through a red light.

It smashes into a parked red car on Scott Street and flips over before landing upside down just outside the camera’s view. Reports mention that a Duke Energy light pole was also damaged. Police records show the vehicle involved in the crash is registered to Cam Taylor-Britt.

Taylor-Britt was reportedly a backseat passenger.

The NFL player has been cited for other traffic violations in 2025. The first incident took place in June when the authorities reported him for driving a Dodge Charger recklessly on Fourth Street in Downtown. He had five passengers in the car.

The other one happened in September when the police said he was street racing a 2021 Jeep Cherokee on Joe Nuxhall Way. This incident also witnessed him driving with a restricted license and failing to follow roadway signs. Eventually, he served a five-day sentence at the Hamilton County Jail earlier this month, starting immediately after his hearing.

Then came the crash which happened in November. According to the police report, Taylor-Britt’s vehicle had crossed the Roebling Bridge into Kentucky moments before hitting a parked red Chevy Cruze. First officers arriving on the scene found both vehicles severely damaged without a single person in sight. A man identified as Jafabian Booker later approached the cops, claiming to be the player’s brother.

He also claimed that a woman was behind the wheel when the crash happened. However, the officers dismissed his account and eventually tracked Cam Taylor-Britt to his home. At the time, the player was on his phone and denied the allegation.

“It is what it is,” he told officers. “I can go back there, but there ain’t nothing to it. I wasn’t driving.”

He reportedly said that Jafabian Booker was driving the car and that the driver had dropped his phone and was searching for it when the crash happened. 

On January 6, Taylor-Britt turned up in Hamilton County court on crutches from his season-ending Week 11 injury. During his trial, his attorney revealed the player wouldn’t be driving in the near future. Further, the 26-year-old went on to apologize in the courtroom.

 “I just want to apologize for my actions,” he said. “I plan already to knock out those things that got me into this place, because it is not me, and I don’t want to be here.”

Meanwhile, the charge of driving without a license dates back to two driving-related violations in 2025.

What other charges did Cam Taylor-Britt face?

The police hit Cam Taylor-Britt with five charges stemming from two separate traffic stops a few months before the November incident. Besides driving without a valid license, other violations include drag racing and crossing over a yellow line. One police officer testified about his driving, calling it dangerous and reckless.

“He can’t be driving like that around the streets of Cincinnati or he’s going to hurt or kill somebody,” they said.

According to his testimony, Taylor-Britt drove on the wrong side, performed a burnout, and sped north on Joe Nuxhall Way between Mehring Way and Second Street. Meanwhile, the player’s attorney attempted to limit the damage by highlighting that their client had contacted the BMV earlier that day for a valid driver’s license.

They emphasized that Cam Taylor-Britt understood the seriousness of the situation. Looking ahead, the player is approaching free agency and was in touch with twelve franchises before the incident. 

“I’m not opposed to it,” he said about moving to another team. “I don’t think anyone would mind a change of scenery.”
