HOLLYWOOD - Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder's truck was found smashed into a tree Wednesday morning on the Florida Turnpike near Hollywood Boulevard.

About 5 a.m. Wednesday morning, someone spotted a truck that had gone off the road on the turnpike exit ramp to Hollywood Boulevard and struck a tree, said Sgt. Mark Wysocky, spokesman for the Florida Highway Patrol. When troopers arrived, no driver was in sight.

The vehicle came back registered to Crowder, Wysocky said, but investigators do not know if he was driving the truck. It's unclear if Crowder has been interviewed yet in the case.

If his prints or the only ones in the truck, or if he got injured and bled... it's over Channing.

From now on, this should be called, "Pulling a Briggs".

It was a Channing Crowder mystery. Florida Highway Patrol troopers found the Dolphin linebacker's mangled 2007 pickup truck on the shoulder of a northbound exit ramp from Florida's Turnpike at 5:15 a.m. Wednesday morning.

But where was Crowder? And what about the items he left behind: a firearm, crutches, an appointment book?

The mystery was solved by Crowder himself. Troopers contacted the football player at his Davie home.

Yes, he said, he lost control of the pickup at the rain-slicked Hollywood Boulevard exit, slamming into a tree.

And yes, rather than wait around in the rain, he caught a ride home, leaving the crunched truck on the roadside -- gun, crutches and all.

Crowder told authorities the friend who drove him home had been following him from another friend's house.

When he had spoken with reporters earlier in the day, he told them that a friend of his had borrowed his truck and he had been elsewhere.

End of story, except for the citations. Crowder, 24, was cited for careless driving, which is a moving infraction, and leaving the scene of a crash involving property damage, which is a second-degree misdemeanor, said a spokesman for the Highway Patrol.

Crowder's personal property, including the firearm, was returned to him. As for the crutches? Crowder had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee near the end of the Dolphins' dismal season.

The truck was towed to the Pompano Plaza impound and is being held for Crowder.

It was not known who called 911 after the accident.

Calls to Crowder's cellular phone were not immediately returned.
