University of Alabama football player faces lawsuit in alleged Tuscaloosa hit-and-run crash
A University of Alabama football player is facing a lawsuit following an alleged hit-and-run crash that injured another man in Tuscaloosa.
Reed Densely Harradine, his mother Dr. Kimberly Harradine and her dental practice, Complete Dental Care, have been named as defendants in the lawsuit filed in Jefferson County Circuit Court.
The suit was filed on behalf of Timothy Moore by Birmingham attorneys Gerald C. Brooks and Brandon Price-Crum of Serious Injury Law Group.
Reed Harradine is a sophomore place kicker for the Tide and a Mountain Brook native.
Harradine’s mother did not return a call seeking comment on the lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit, Reed Harradine was driving a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD on Oct. 1, 2023, when he tried to turn left from Jack Warner Parkway onto Hackberry Lane when he failed to yield to Moore’s green light and crashed into his driver’s side door and rear quarter panel.
As a result of the collision, attorneys said, the airbags deployed in Moore’s vehicle and caused it to spin out in the intersection.
Moore was taken by ambulance to DCH Regional Medical Center, his attorneys said.
“Mr. Harradine left the scene of the collision, even though Mr. Moore was visible and noticeably injured,’’ the suit states.
University of Alabama police officers located the Sierra in a parking deck at Ridgecrest South Residential, a student housing complex.
“Despite making attempts to contact Mr. Harradine,’’ the suit states, “Mr. Harradine refused to speak with the UAPD officers on the night of the subject collision.”
The following day, Reed Harradine admitted he was driving the Sierra at the time of the crash. The truck was registered to Kimberly Carradine and the dental practice she runs in Birmingham – Complete Dental Care, according to the lawsuit.
Attorneys for Moore said he sustained serious injuries to his head, neck, back, shoulders and left side.
Moore’s attorneys contend Reed Harradine was reckless and negligent.
