Giants legend Lawrence Taylor was arrested in Hialeah, Florida yesterday for leaving the scene of an accident where he allegedly hit a car and then a guard rail. TMZ wants to assure us that he wasn't under the influence—police say he "was so coherent when he was arrested for hit-and-run last night , that officers didn't feel the need to perform a sobriety test." Plus "when they found Taylor, he was standing outside of his car -- which was missing a front tire. The tire was found at the scene of the crash .. which means Taylor may have driven several miles on just the axle." He was taken to the station house and released on $500 bail.
