Basketball Legend Accused of Hit And Run

The Miami New Times reports that former Miami Heat star, current Miami Heat executive Alonzo Mourning was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run accident. The other driver almost immediately filed a lawsuit. Mourning faces actual misdemeanor charges stemming from the actual accident. In Florida, it is a second-degree misdemeanor to commit the offense of leaving the scene of an accident (LSA).

The alleged victim, a 21-year old student, had already gotten into one car accident on the Julia Tuttle Causeway early last Sunday morning when Mourning reportedly came along in his Porsche and hit the student's stopped car. The alleged victim claims that his car then flipped several times, and that Mourning left the scene before returning about 45 minutes later in a car driven by his wife.
