Authorities are investigating whether the crash was intentional. Tillman livestreamed the incident online, according to KNTV in San Francisco. He is currently being held on $60,000 bond.

Online court records do not indicate what charges Tillman is facing.

Tillman’s brother, Pat, left the NFL to enlist in the military after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. He was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan in 2004.
