24-year-old Khyree Jackson of the Minnesota Vikings tragically passes away
Khyree Jackson — the Minnesota Vikings cornerback — was killed Saturday along with two other people in a vehicular accident in Maryland, according to authorities.
Maryland State Police tell TMZ … 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 automobiles.
During their preliminary probe, investigators learned that one of the other motorists in a silver Infiniti rammed into the Charger while trying to change lanes at a high rate of speed. That sent the Charger crashing into a moving Chevy Impala before barreling off the roadway into a bunch of trees where it finally came to a stop.
Paramedics responded and pronounced Jackson and Hazel dead at the scene. Lytton was rushed to a local hospital, where he passed away. No one else was reported injured.
MSP officials said the investigation is ongoing. So far, the surviving parties have not been cited or arrested
Khyree’s mother Ebbony Jackson confirmed the death, telling TMZ … Khyree died in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. She received a call about his death at 4 AM ET today.
