Miami linebacker Adarius Hayes turned himself in after being charged with vehicular homicide in connection with the deadly crash that killed three people in Florida on May 10. Hayes surrendered to the Largo Police Department and was transported to the Pinellas County Jail on Friday.

According to reports, Hayes has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide and one count of reckless driving with serious bodily injury. He was later released from jail after posting a $350,000 bond.

Miami suspends LB Adarius Hayes "indefinitely" after fatal car crash

On Friday, Miami announced that Adarius Hayes would be suspended "indefinitely" after the player turned himself in to the police.

"Following the charges issued today by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, student-athlete Adarius Hayes has been indefinitely suspended from all athletic related activities per athletic department policy," Miami said in a statement. "We will have no further comment."

During the fatal accident in May, Hayes, 20, crashed his 2024 maroon Dodge Durango into a green Kia Soul, driven by 78-year-old woman Gail Price.

While Adarius Hayes was behind the wheel of his car, he also had a 19-year-old passenger in the front seat and a 16-year-old passenger in the back seat. In Price's car, a 58-year-old man, Herbert Rivera, was in the front passenger seat while his child, Charlie Rivera, 4, was in the back seat with Jabari Solomon, 10.

Reports claim that Hayes was driving well above the posted 40 mph speed limit and was weaving aggressively through traffic before crashing into the Kia Soul.

Solomon and Rivera were ejected from the car and pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Price and Rivera were transported to the hospital, where the former died the following day. Rivera sustained injuries from the crash but survived.

The No. 10 Miami Hurricanes will open their 2025 season against the No. 6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Sunday. Hayes is not expected to play in the game.
