We were made aware this morning of a serious car accident involving Kendrick Norton. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kendrick and his family during this time.

The crash occurred just after 1 AM on State Road 836 in Miami. His truck struck a concrete barrier wall and flipped over.
The Heavy 1 was not brought to the scene because fire and rescue were able to free Kendrick and rush him to a nearby hospital. A female companion was also taken to the hospital. Kendrick’s condition is reportedly “non-life-threatening,” according to TMZ.
With sadness, I can confirm that Kendrick Norton was in a car accident last night and suffered multiple injuries, including the amputation of his arm. We ask that you continue to pray for him. His family also asks that the public respect Kendrick’s privacy.

Norton was selected in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL draft by the Carolina Panthers, and the Dolphins signed him off the Panthers’ practice squad in December. He was expected to compete for a spot on the 53-man roster this season.
