In this handout photo provided by the Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department, Lawrence Taylor is seen in a mug shot on November 8, 2009 in Miami, Florida.

Retired NFL star Lawrence Taylor showed off his quickstep on Dancing With the Stars — but Sunday night he bolted from the scene of a crime.

Taylor was arrested a couple miles from a car accident on the freeway in Dade County, Florida at about 10 p.m. Taylor was driving a white Cadillac Escalade when he hit a 1984 Ford van, smashing it into a guardrail.

When cops caught up to him, he was standing in a praking lot next to his car, which was missing a front tire. The tire was found at the scene of the accident.

Cops say they didn’t give Taylor — who had bloodshot eyes and has a history of substance abuse — a sobriety test because he seemed coherent. (And famous?) He was released on $500 bond.
