Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette was not hurt in a car crash Tuesday, but he did take some great photos with the police.

The star rookie got into the three-car accident on 295 southbound near the Dames Point Bridge. The chain-reaction crash resulted in his car getting rear ended. Fournette was not at fault for the crash, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

The wreck occurred just before noon. Fournette was driving his 2017 Mercedes-Benz Maybach near Heckscher Drive.

A woman driving an SUV was cited for careless driving, according to police.

Fournette stuck around to take some great pictures with the officers. He even signed the smashed up bumper from his car and gave it to first responders, before driving himself home.

"Special Thanks to @Jaguars Leonard @_fournette for being a true professional," the Florida Highway Patrol Jacksonville Twitter account tweeted. "He took the time to take a photo with boy involved in crash and to thank our trooper for his service. We are glad to hear of no injuries in this crash."
