Spikes abandoned his 2011 Mercedes-Benz Maybach on the side of I-485 near Gillette Stadium after he told an OnStar operator he hit a deer.
Minutes later, around 3:30 a.m., the driver of a Nissan SUV called to report they’d been hit by a vehicle that left the scene. That vehicle was Spikes’.
Spikes has played in 66 NFL games (Patriots and Bills) with 50 starts and has registered 384 total tackles, two sacks, two interceptions and seven forced fumbles.
