JASPER COUNTY, Mo. — Matt Miller, an NFL analyst for ESPN, said he was involved in a serious automobile accident last week in Missouri that required the amputation of his left arm.
On June 17, Miller, 42, was driving a 2023 Ford Bronco in Jasper County when he crossed the center line and collided with a semitruck, KOAM reported.
He was taken to a hospital in Joplin, according to the television station.
Miller wrote about the incident in a social media post on Tuesday.
“As a result of the accident, I sustained significant injuries, including multiple fractures and broken ribs,” he wrote. “I also underwent a life-saving amputation of my left arm.
“While I have a long road ahead, I’m focused on my recovery and taking things one day at a time.”
Last week, I was involved in a serious car accident in Missouri and was airlifted to Mercy Hospital. I’m deeply grateful for the exceptional care I have received, from the first responders to the doctors, nurses and medical staff. I’m incredibly fortunate to be writing this.…
