Minnesota Vikings’ Khyree Jackson Dies at 24 in Car Crash
Khyree Jackson, the Minnesota Vikings cornerback, was killed Saturday along with two other people in a car accident in Maryland, according to authorities.
Maryland State Police told TMZ that Jackson, Isaiah Hazel, and Anthony Lytton were driving in a maroon Dodge Charger in Upper Marlboro early this morning when they collided with two other vehicles. Investigators learned that one of the other motorists, driving a silver Infiniti, rammed into the Charger while trying to change lanes at a high rate of speed. This caused the Charger to crash into a moving Chevy Impala before veering off the road and hitting a cluster of trees.
Paramedics pronounced Jackson and Hazel dead at the scene. Lytton was rushed to a local hospital, where he later passed away. No one else was injured in the incident.
