Former longtime Tennessee Titans kicker Rob Bironas died on Saturday night after flipping his car in a single-car crash in Nashville, and a phone call to 911 indicates the kicker exhibited wild and crazy behavior on the road before the crash.
The Tennessean posted audio of a call from a woman reporting the crash. The woman says she did not witness the accident, but she was reporting seeing a car off the road. Then she passed the phone to another woman who was clearly shaken. The second woman gave an emotional account of her interaction with Bironas on the road, calling Bironas “dangerous” and “crazy.”
“He tried to run my sisters off the road. We pulled over and he looked at us. We don’t even know him,” she said with a quivering voice. “And he sped off. My husband got out and said, ‘what is your problem?’
“We let him go on past us because he was trying to run us off the road. We let him speed on past us. This guy is dangerous,” she says with an emotional, trembling voice.
“He came beside us and gave us this crazy look and just sped off past us and followed us down the road. .. But he’s dangerous the police need to know there’s something wrong with him. He’s dangerous … he’s drunk or something. He tried to start a fight with us!”
The Tennessean reported on Monday that Bironas’ wife, Rachel Bradshaw, who is the oldest daughter of Terry Bradshaw, called police to report her husband missing about 30 minutes before the crash.
Bradshaw told police she, a female friend and Rob were watching a movie at their home Saturday evening. Bironas told Rachel goodnight and she assumed he was going to bed. She went to go look for him and couldn’t find him, so she tried reaching him through his phone multiple times. He did not pick up. She called family and nobody had heard from him, so she called police because she was concerned. Bradshaw told police Bironas was not drunk and that no argument took place before he left.
Something here doesn’t add up, because it’s unusual for someone to call police after not being able to reach someone for 30 minutes. Usually they need to be missing for much longer before you would call concerned.
