Norton cited for crash that led to amputation

MIAMI -- Dolphins defensive tackle Kendrick Norton was cited as at fault for the July 4 accident that led to his left arm being amputated, Florida Highway Patrol determined in its accident report.

Norton was cited with improper lane change, due to him pulling in front of another vehicle and making slight contact with it before crashing into a concrete barrier, according to a copy of the crash report obtained by ESPN.

According to the report, alcohol and drugs were not suspected as a factor in the accident for either driver.

The report also indicates that Norton was driving on State Road 836 going northbound on the outside lane when he made a sudden turn, attempting to get into the inside lanes going southbound on 826 before the ramps separate.
