Ex-NFL player D.J. Hayden, along with his former Houston Cougars teammate Zach McMillian, died in a car wreck in Houston early Saturday morning, according to the Houston Chronicle.
D.J. Hayden was among the six people who died in a car accident in Houston, the Raiders announced on Saturday. Hayden was 33. 'The Raiders Family is mourning the tragic loss of former cornerback D.J. Hayden,' the Raiders said in a statement. Houston police confirmed that the deadly crash happened early Saturday morning. He was born in Houston and played college football at the University of Houston. His former fellow Cougar Zach McMillian also died in the wreck, police said.
Police determined that the driver of the Chrysler 300 was at fault, as the car went through a red light at a 'high velocity.' Four individuals were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, while four others were taken to a nearby hospital. Authorities said that two of the people who were transported to the hospital later died. Police identified the deceased as five males, one of whom authorities said appeared to be homeless. The sixth victim was identified as a female.
