Miami Hurricanes linebacker Adarius Hayes has been released from the hospital following a car accident that left three people dead, the school said Monday.

Hayes was driving a Dodge Durango on Saturday afternoon in Largo, Fla., when the SUV collided with a Kia Soul at an intersection.

Three people in the Kia died in the crash, including two children, and another passenger in that vehicle is in serious condition, according to police.

No criminal charges have been filed and no tickets have been issued, although the accident remains under police investigation. A police spokesperson said there were no signs of impairment with either driver.

"We are deeply saddened to learn the crash resulted in three fatalities, as confirmed by Largo Police, and our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of those lost," the university said in a statement.

Hayes played in 12 games as a freshman in the 2024 season, primarily on special teams. He had four tackles and one interception. Coming out of Largo High School, he was a four-star prospect in the Class of 2024.
