Rob Bironas Tried To "Run Me Off The Road" Prior To His Car Crash, Woman Told 911

Moments before Rob Bironas had a car accident that resulted to his death, a woman called 911 to report that the former Titans kicker was driving erratically. The woman on the line told the dispatcher that she and her husband failed to recognise Bironas who drove up behind them, according to CBS News.

"We let him go on past us because he was trying to run me off the road and we don't know who he was," the woman told the dispatcher according to Yahoo.

Bironas who worked his way through the Arena Football League (AFL) before becoming National Football League's (NFL) most accurate kicker died last Saturday night in a car crash at the age of 36. Police reports suggest that Bironas was speeding when he lost control in a curve and there was no evidence that he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

In March, Bironas was released by Titans after nine seasons. He worked out for Tampa Bay during the off season and then, he tried out as a kicker for Detroit Lions last week, where he appeared to be in a normal mental state, according to USA Today Sports.

The anonymous source of USA Today Sports said that the former Titans kicker showed no indications of any issues that might have prevented Lions from signing him but no contract was imminent prior to his death.

The 36-year-old who was practicing for weeks at a local high school revealed to friends that he was pretty optimistic with the results of his try-out. On Monday, the Lions signed the former Eagles kicker Alex Henery to replace the struggling rookie Nate Freese.

Meanwhile, according to two Belmont University students, Bironas tried to sideswipe the truck that they were driving on the same night that the former Titan kicker died. Bironas allegedly threatened to kill the passengers of the truck.

Connor Fraley, a passenger of the truck said via The Tennessean,

"I am not trying to soil this guy's reputation or his legacy. I know this community thinks very fondly of him. I am just being honest, and I'm trying to get this off my chest. He tried to kill us. He told us he was going to try and kill us," the passenger said.
