The woman accused of causing the accident that claimed the lives of Minnesota Vikings cornerback Khyree Jackson and his two friends is suspected to have known the former Oregon DB.
According to Maryland State Police, Cori Clingman was driving an Infinity Q5 north on Route 4 Pennsylvania Avenue on Friday night when it hit the Dodge Charger, which Jackson was a passenger in.
The vehicle, driven by the player’s old high school teammate Isaiah Hazel, ran off the road and hit several tree stumps before stopping, per Oregonlive.com. Jackson and Hazel were pronounced dead on the scene, while Anthony Lytton Jr., who was in the back, was pronounced dead at hospital.
Clingman, who also hit a Chevrolet Impala, did not suffer any injuries, nor did her passengers. The driver of the Impala is also okay.
Police believe alcohol consumption was at play, with Clingman suspected to have attempted to switch lanes while driving at a very high speed.
