New dash cam video of a car crash involving ESPN NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller has added to a growing list of questions surrounding him since the accident last month. Miller was involved in a life-threatening crash in Missouri on June 17 and has since had his left arm amputated.

The footage, obtained by the California Post on Tuesday, shows Miller's Ford Bronco veer across a 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 at around 3:50 p.m. on a Jasper County roadway, according to Fox News's OutKick.

"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.

Miller announced last week that he was stepping away from ESPN to focus on his recovery. ESPN had placed him on leave the weekend before that announcement. Sources told OutKick that the leave was purely based on his health, but also said that questions related to ongoing social media discussion and an attorney general's report would be addressed in due time.

The Missouri attorney general opened an investigation into Miller earlier this month. The probe followed a viral Reddit thread in which dozens of fans accused Miller of suspicious dealings in his fantasy football leagues. According to the fantasy football platform Sleeper, Miller was the commissioner of 91 fantasy football leagues last season alone.

The accounts from players who came forward shared a common pattern. Miller would allegedly start a league, advertise it, and claim a portion of the proceeds would go to charity. After the league started and ended, according to several accounts, he would largely go silent and players would wait months for a payout, if they received one at all.

After the June 17 crash, a GoFundMe was started for Miller and promoted by him on his X account. The initial goal was set at $10,000. Once that goal was reached, the target was raised to $55,000. Several fans confirmed to the outlet Awful Announcing that they received delayed payments from Miller after the crash and the GoFundMe launched. The fundraiser was suspiciously paused at $51,000 after the attorney general opened his investigation on July 2.

Miller is expected to remain on leave from ESPN for the foreseeable future.
