Minnesota Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson, 24, was killed in a Saturday morning car crash in Maryland, according to Maryland State Police.
The accident reportedly occurred just after 3 a.m. in Upper Marlboro. Three cars were involved in the crash; one of the drivers attempted to change lines while traveling at high speed and slammed into the NFL player’s car, as well as another car, according to the authorities.
The collision is believed to have caused Jackson’s car to veer off the road before striking several tree stumps, according to the police statement. (RELATED: Former NFL Lineman Korey Cunningham Found Dead At 28)
