Miami Hurricanes linebacker Adarius Hayes is facing three counts of vehicular homicide from a May crash in Florida that killed a 78-year-old woman and two children.
Hayes turned himself in to police on Friday in his hometown of Largo, Fla., and was booked into the Pinellas County Jail, according to officials.
The school said the sophomore has been indefinitely suspended from all athletic-related activities.
On May 10, police said Hayes was driving a Dodge Durango nearly 80 mph in a 40-mph zone when the SUV collided with a Kia Soul at an intersection.
Three people in the Kia died from injuries suffered in the collision, including two boys ages four and 10. The children’s father, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, also sustained serious injuries.
According to police, the Kia was making a legal left-hand turn when Hayes’ vehicle “made a rapid and dangerous maneuver” and crashed into the car.
Hayes played in 12 games as a freshman in the 2024 season, primarily on special teams. He had four tackles and one interception. Coming out of Largo High School, he was a four-star prospect in the Class of 2024.
