Kimberly Shpeley: Marshawn Lynch Ran Me Over

Marshawn Lynch takes many hits as a running back for the Buffalo Bills. But it's an alleged hit he doled out - with his car - that's landed the NFL star in hot water.

The troubled athlete is being sued by Kimberly Shpeley, a woman who claims he ran her over during an alleged drunken hit-and-run incident back in 2008.

In the lawsuit, filed in Erie County Court, Shpeley claims Lynch was drunk when he got behind the wheel of his Porsche Cayenne in Buffalo late one night.

She says he struck her as she was attempting to cross the street. The 23-year-old ended up joining our celebrity mug shots gallery, as you can see ...

Marshawn Lynch is being sued over an alleged hit-and-run.

Marshawn Lynch was investigated for the incident, but ultimately reached a deal with prosecutors that kept him out of jail and eligible for football season.

Whether that ended up being good for the Bills or fantasy owners is subject to interpretation, of course. Dude sucked this year and Buffalo went 6-10.

The only criminal charge Fred Jackson's backup pleaded guilty to was "failure to exercise due care toward a pedestrian." He had to pay a $100 fine.

We're guessing Kimberly Shpeley is seeking slightly more in damages for the "severe personal injuries" she says she suffered as a result of his actions.
