TAMPA, Fla. — Former Bucs running back Leonard Fournette escaped injury late Tuesday morning after his vehicle caught fire as he drove northbound on Interstate 275.
Fournette, currently a free agent, was traveling on the interstate near Fowler Avenue when his black 2021 Dodge Durango experienced a vehicle fire due to a mechanical issue. Sgt. Steve Gaskins of the Florida Highway Patrol said Fournette, 28, came to a controlled stop along the inside shoulder and exited the vehicle safely and without injury.
The Durango, however, appeared to be irreparably charred.
