New details emerged today in the Donte Stallworth case, and it appears, based on a police report, that Mario Reyes, who was struck by Stallworth's car, was not inside of a crosswalk when the NFL wide receiver's Bentley hit him.

Additionally, the accident report noted that Stallworth flashed his lights in an attempt to warn Reyes. However, the biggest factor relating to negligence on Stallworth's part -- intoxication -- has not been determined yet.

Miami Beach police are still waiting on Stallworth's blood tests, which should determine whether or not the wideout was under the influence at the time of the accident. Stallworth was apparently speeding, clocking in at 50 in a 40 mph zone, according to the report, and that shouldn't play well in any potential criminal or civil claims against the wide receiver.

The tort laws in Florida may cause various aspects of the accident to outweigh others in the civil court of law, but it's not worth discussing that possibility or the notion of criminal charges until Stallworth's blood tests are confirmed.

Update: The newly launched NBC Miami was kind enough to pass along the 9-1-1 audio calls from the citizens who alerted the police to the Stallworth accident.
