Taylor was reportedly spotted leaving the event in her Mercedes after the crash “without offering assistance or pausing to offer information,” according to the report. According to authorities, she was seen driving past the crash site twice without stopping. Taylor reportedly “wanted to prove the other driver’s injuries” and said she did not stop at the scene of the incident because she did not realize “there was cause for concern.”
Shortly after the incident, Taylor was pulled over by an officer, who said Taylor admitted her role in the crash and stated that “the other driver is ‘fine’.” The officer also said that the former presenter wanted to return home and that the crash was “not a big deal”.
The policeman went on to say:
“Prior to the accident, Taylor reported being at a restaurant on Worth Avenue and then at a restaurant in Royal Poinciana Plaza.” We could not find the restaurant where Taylor was a guest.”
She reportedly said she was leaving The Colony Property, but did not respond when authorities informed her the hotel was closed. Taylor also said she did not drink and drive and did not use any prescription drugs. The officer stated that he did not smell alcohol on the former anchor. According to Page Six, the injured driver in the other car suffered discomfort to his jaw, head, neck and back and was treated at the scene by medical personnel. Meanwhile, Felicia Taylor was examined by a doctor and confirmed that she was unharmed.
