Police say six people including former NFL player D
A crash at a red light killed six people including former NFL cornerback D.J. Hayden in downtown Houston early Saturday. The two-vehicle crash occurred about 2 a.m. when a Chrysler 300, apparently “going very fast, high velocity,' ran the red light and collided with an SUV, Houston Police Assistant Chief Megan Howard said. Five men and one woman died, including Hayden, the Houston Chronicle reported. Four people were pronounced dead at the scene.
Four people were taken to the hospital and two of them died, Howard said, while one female passenger was in critical condition with life-threatening injuries. Police interviewed a male passenger from the SUV at the hospital. Investigators were working to identify the driver of the SUV, Howard said. Hayden, 33, was born in Houston and starred at the University of Houston, according to his profile page on ESPN.com.
