D.J. Hayden, Ralph Oragwu and Zach McMillian — three former University of Houston football players — were among the victims of the crash, the university said.
D.J. Hayden, a former NFL cornerback, was among the people killed in a Houston car crash early on Saturday morning, University of Houston said in a statement. Five of the victims were males, and one was a female, Megan Howard, Assistant Chief, Houston Police Department, said at a news briefing. Police didn't release the names of the victims at the briefing.
'While their combined talents provided Houston Football some of its most unforgettable moments, their unique legacies will best be remembered for the way they loved their teammates, supported their communities and defied the odds.' Houston police received 911 calls around 2 a.m. local time alerting them to a major car crash involving 'two vehicles' that included a black Chrysler 300 and a black Acura SUV, Howard said.
