Crash footage of ESPN analyst who had arm amputated raises uncomfortable questions about GoFundMe

New dash cam video of ESPN analyst Matt Miller's car crash last month that led to his eventual arm amputation has raised more questions than answers.

Miller, who covers the NFL Draft for ESPN, was involved in a life-threatening car crash last month in Missouri. Details of the crash have been sparse, but we do know Miller suffered several serious injuries, one of which led to an eventual arm amputation.

The ESPN analyst announced last week that he was stepping away from the company to focus on his recovery, which was newsworthy given the turmoil that has surrounded him since the accident.

ESPN ANALYST STEPPING AWAY AFTER GETTING ARM AMPUTATED AS AG INVESTIGATES WILD ACCUSATIONS

In the weeks since the crash, Miller has been accused by dozens of fans of suspicious dealings in his fantasy football leagues. The Missouri attorney general opened an investigation into him earlier this month, and ESPN placed him on leave last weekend.

Although sources told OutKick that Miller's leave was purely based on his health, they also said that questions related to the ongoing social media chatter and the AG's report will be addressed in due time. Until then, he is expected to remain on leave.

As for video of the crash ... it was obtained by the California Post on Tuesday, and shows Miller's Ford Bronco veer across the double-yellow line on a two-lane road into an oncoming truck. The semi appeared to move out of the way, but both vehicles collided.

The incident took place around 3:50 p.m. on June 17 on a Jasper County roadway.

Around the time of the accident, a Reddit thread went viral with several fans accusing Miller of suspicious dealings in his fantasy football leagues.

According to the popular fantasy football platform "Sleeper," Miller was the commissioner of 91 fantasy leagues last season alone.

Dozens of fans who at one time played in a league organized by Miller came forward, and they all had the same story.

Miller would allegedly start a league. He would advertise the league. He would claim that a portion of the proceeds for the league would go to some charity.

And then, according to several accounts, he would go largely silent after the league started and after the league ended, with players in said league going months without a payout ... if they got one at all.

After the June 17th crash, a GoFundMe was started for Miller, and promoted by Miller via his X account. The initial goal was $10,000. It was then raised to $55,000 once that goal was hit.

Several fans confirmed to the outlet Awful Announcing that they received delayed payment from Miller after his crash and resulting GoFundMe, which was suspiciously paused at $51,000 after the AG opened the investigation on July 2.

"As a result of the accident, I sustained significant injuries, including multiple fractures and broken ribs. I also underwent a life-saving amputation of my left arm," Miller posted on X after his crash before eventually mentioning, and linking, the GoFundMe campaign created for him.

The Reddit thread, and resulting outrage on social media, came to a head earlier this month when the Missouri AG got involved.

"The Missouri Attorney General’s Office is now soliciting complaints directly from anyone with relevant information, including those who are not Missouri residents," Awful Announcing wrote on July 2. "A consumer complaint can be filed online or by phone through the Consumer Protection team at 800-392-8222."

Miller, who is still in the hospital, and has not yet commented on any of this. That doesn't mean he's oblivious, though.

Last weekend, the longtime draft analyst posted that he was stepping away from ESPN to recover, while also limiting who could comment on his post.

"A quick update: The surgery to remove my left arm was successful with hopes of an eventual prosthetic replacement. Similarly, the femur and patella surgeries were also successful and the fantastic surgery team was able to save my left leg," he said. "To best focus on my healing and recovery, I’m stepping away indefinitely and will be placed on leave from ESPN. Thank you to all for the prayers and thoughts; please keep them coming."

"Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Get well soon, Matt," wrote Adam Schefter.

"Speedy recovery. I still remember when I was coming out of college how much you supported me," added former Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas. "It was like everything you said turned out to be true. Hopefully I can do the same for you boss."

Schefter and Thomas were two of only 14 people who replied to Miller's latest post because it was safeguarded with an "Only some accounts can reply" tag.

Every single reply was positive, which was a stark difference from Miller's previous updates about his accident, which were open to the public. Those posts were flooded with comments about the ongoing investigation, the viral Reddit thread, and the resulting GoFundMe.

A GoFundMe, by the way, which will now certainly come under further scrutiny with the new footage.
