  • Tyler Cameron reportedly has to go to court after The Bachelorette finale airs.

  • He was cited with “careless driving” in May.


The Bachelorette finale is just two weeks away, and it really seems like Hannah B. has no clue who she’s going to pick by the end of this. (Let’s just be grateful Luke P. is finally out of the picture.) Tyler C. is definitely a fan favorite and one of the frontrunners, but it looks like he has some legal troubles looming behind the scenes. According to a South Florida newspaper called the Sun Sentinel, Tyler was involved in a car accident earlier this year and has to go to court because he was accused of “careless driving” and didn’t pay a $166 fine.

Right after The Bachelorette finished filming back in May, Tyler went home to Jupiter, Florida. Around 7:30 a.m. May 21, Tyler reportedly crashed his Ford SUV into the back of a pickup truck, which then caused the truck to hit another car. According to a Jupiter Police Department report, Tyler said there was construction equipment changing lanes, which caused traffic to stop and forced cars to merge into another lane. Tyler then said he had to brake but wasn’t able to stop in time, so he ended up rear-ending the truck in front of him.

As a result of the incident, Tyler had “a bump on his forehead,” but nobody else involved in the crash reported any injuries. In total, there was $19,000 in damages, Tyler’s car and the truck had to be towed, and Tyler was fined $166 for “careless driving.” Tyler reportedly had 30 days to pay that fine, but he didn’t.

When the Bachelorette contestant didn’t pay the fine, his driver’s license was suspended. Although, when he later went and paid a $23 late fee, his license was reinstated.

He pleaded not guilty to the “careless driving” citation on July 16, but the Palm Beach County Clerk and Comptroller stated he should’ve submitted a not-guilty plea within 30 days of the accident. As of now, Tyler is due in court August 6 for a pre-trial hearing.
