Cops are investigating why the John Doe was lying in the lane. As far as the drivers who struck the man, including Holmes, drugs or alcohol are not believed to have been a factor.
The rebooted "Fresh Prince" is being reimagined as a drama, with no Will Smith or any of the originals in the cast.
The new project is based on a viral short film trailer that Smith liked so much, he signed on as an executive producer. It has been picked up by Peacock for two seasons.
