'I think emotionally I'm pretty grounded with everything, I've put it behind me,' Myles Garrett said Friday in his first public comments since Monday's accident.
For Garrett, it had been almost 96 hours of evaluation since his Porsche 911 Turbo S rolled over on State Road in Sharon Township. Both he and his passenger, 23-year-old Yiana Tjotjos, spent the next few hours in an area hospital before being released.
Pictures from the accident scene showed the mangled results of a car which"struck a ditch, fire hydrant and overturned several times prior to coming to final rest," according to the official crash report from the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Garrett said Friday he moved"out of the way of an animal coming from the right and then I remember an approaching car coming the opposite way, which was kind of … quick flashes after that.
In those quick flashes, Garrett also saw a flash of mortality. He also believes there was another presence along with him, that of his late paternal grandfather who only recently passed away. "I definitely feel like I had a guardian angel," Garrett said."It was a very well-built car and I'll miss it. I loved that car. But I had just a family member recently pass away who I know is watching over me and just joined his wife. I know that they are very happy to see me come out of that car and be able to walk under my own power.
