Ex-NFL star Vontae Davis seemed to be sound asleep on the side of a highway near two wrecked vehicles after he was accused of drunkenly crashing his Tesla during an accident on Saturday morning … new photos, obtained by TMZ Sports, show.
In the pictures — snapped just minutes after Davis allegedly rammed his ride into the back of a Toyota truck in Broward County, Fla. — you can see Davis appeared to be unconscious on the pavement.
Wearing a mint-green corduroy set with his shoes still on, the 34-year-old former Indianapolis Colts defensive back was balled up with his head laying in his hands and his eyes closed.
A witness tells us that even as people moved around him — including first responders, a clean-up crew and police — Davis remained fast asleep … until cops woke him up and put him in a squad car.
In Florida Highway Patrol dash cam footage we obtained, you can see Davis appeared to be having trouble staying awake there too.

During questioning, the two-time Pro Bowler seemed to fade in and out of consciousness … and when one officer eventually began telling him why he was being arrested for DUI — the cop said, “Your eyes are bloodshot. Your speech is slurred. You can barely stay awake. All right? You almost killed somebody.”
Other photos from the scene we obtained show just how fortunate everyone is to have come away from the wreck alive — you can see in the pics, Davis’ Tesla was mangled … as was the back of the Toyota.
Davis did admit to cops he had drank two “mixed drinks” before getting behind the wheel, but he said he had no recollection of the car accident.
The former football player, who spent 10 seasons in the NFL from 2009 to 2018, was ultimately arrested and booked on a charge of DUI.
Davis has since pled not guilty to the charge, court records show.
