A rising NFL star died in a tragic car accident at the age of 24

Minnesota Vikings rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson died in a car crash, the team announced Saturday. Jackson was 24 years old.

According to the Maryland State Police, Jackson’s high school teammates — Isaiah Hazel, 23, and Anthony Lytton, Jr., 24 — also died in the three-car crash.

Two other vehicles, a silver Infiniti and a silver Chevrolet Impala, were involved in the crash. Authorities say the driver of the Infiniti attempted to change lanes at a high rate of speed, hitting the car Jackson was in, a maroon Dodge Charger, and the Impala. The Charger hit multiple tree stumps, where it came to rest.
