Johnny Manziel was a victim in a hit-and-run accident, according to a report he filed with Dallas police earlier this week.

Manziel’s 2015 Nissan GTR – the same car he was driving during an alleged domestic incident last year in Ohio – sustained major damage on the driver’s side, based on photos posted on TMZ.com. The photos show the airbag deployed, and TMZ has confirmed the car is still registered to Manziel.
