Hours before the Dolphins’ season opener, star WR Tyreek Hill was detained by Miami-Dade Police for a traffic violation near Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
In the time since Hill’s detainment, more details have emerged from the traffic stop. After statements from Hill, bystanding teammates, the Miami-Dade Police Department and the Dolphins, the department released footage from the officers’ body cameras and later disclosed the citations handed to Hill for his traffic violation.
After speculation around what led to Hill’s detainment, the citation includes how fast Hill was reportedly driving Sunday afternoon. Here is more from the citation.

How fast was Tyreek Hill driving?
Hill was driving at a “visual estimation” of 60 miles per hour, according to the citation.
The detainment occurred on the 2600 block of NW 199th Street in Miami-Dade County. The speed limit for that particular block is not visible in body cam footage.
Why did Tyreek Hill get pulled over?
Hill was cited for careless driving and for a safety belt violation.
The citation does not include anything about Hill driving at an unlawful speed, and there is no speed measurement device listed on the citation. While the citation includes a number of boxes of potential citations, careless driving and safety belt violation are the only two checked.
The visual estimation of 60 miles per hour was included, as well as a note that Hill was not wearing a seatbelt and that there was a high traffic of pedestrians and other vehicles.

What kind of car was Tyreek Hill driving?
Hill was driving a black 2018 McLaren 720S.
It takes the McLaren 720S only 2.8 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph. The McLaren 720S can reach a top speed of 212 mph, but that top speed will likely never be hit unless you are on a track or a de-restricted section of the autobahns in Germany.
