There’s good news and bad news about the car crash Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette got in earlier this week. 

The good news: Fournette is just fine. The bad news: Fournette’s car is not fine. 

Fournette told USA Today on Thursday that his (very, very expensive) car, a Mercedes-Maybach 6, was totaled in the wreck. 

“I’ve got to get a whole new car,” Fournette said. “But at least nobody got hurt.”

Fournette has had a good attitude about the whole thing, it seems. He autographed his busted bumper and gave it a transportation worker cleaning up debris, Florida Highway Patrol told NFL.com.

In a stunning coincidence, Fournette also said that the people in the car that rear-ended him were Steelers fans. 

“They were from Pittsburgh,” Fournette explained. “They came to Jacksonville to drop the in-laws off.”
