PORTAGE PARK — Students and staff arriving at the Elitte Bartending School Wednesday morning found a white Porsche had crashed into its front door.

TMZ reported that the car was registered to ex-Chicago Bears player Lance Briggs.

Briggs was unable to be reached for comment but sent out this tweet in response:

Feel free to report the facts anytime! I Ubered home, but why report the truth, when a lie is more appealing, right? https://t.co/bq7bLrF8Vv — Lance Briggs (@LanceBriggs) January 20, 2016

The manager of the school at 4836 W. Irving Park Road said that when she arrived at the school around 9 a.m. the car had not yet been towed, and the police had not yet been called. The manager, who would only identify herself as Angela, said she was greeted by a tow truck driver, who handed her Briggs' insurance information.

They told her the crash had happened around 5:40 a.m., and that the driver had given his insurance information before leaving, she said.

"This has been a crazy day," Angela said. "The students all arrived in shock, and we had to send them home."

Chicago Police spokesman Officer Thomas Sweeney said he could not confirm the accident and that the News Affairs office was not notified of car crashes if no one was injured.

In 2007, Briggs was sentenced to 120 hours of community service after he crashed his Lamborghini into an expressway embankment in the north suburbs and fled the scene.
