Jackson, a cornerback for the Minnesota Vikings, died in a crash in Upper Marlboro Saturday, along with two of his Wise High School teammates Anthony Lytton Jr. and Isaiah Hazel.
Wise wide receiver Khyree Jackson runs into the end zone on a two point conversion in the first quarter against Quince Orchard during the Maryland 4A football championship in Annapolis, Md., on Dec. 9, 2016. Minnesota Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson and two of his Wise High School teammates were killed early Saturday in a three-vehicle crash after their car was struck by another car and veered off the road in Upper Marlboro, Maryland State Police said.
Jackson, 24, was in the same vehicle with Anthony Lytton, Jr., 24, and Isaiah Hazel, 23, police said. Jackson and Hazel were pronounced dead at the scene and Lytton was taken to a hospital where he later died. The crash happened around 3:14 a.m. on northbound Route 4 near Presidential Parkway. The three men were riding in a Dodge Charger being driven by Hazel when the Charger and another car were struck by an Infinity Q50 which was changing lanes while driving at a high rate of speed, police said.
The Charger left Route 4 and struck multiple tree stumps before coming to rest. The driver of the Infinity, identified by police as an Upper Marlboro woman, and her two passenger were not injured. The driver of the other car also was not hurt.State police said investigators believe alcohol may have been a contributing circumstance in the crash. No charges were filed early Saturday.
Jackson was drafted by the Vikings in the fourth round of this year’s NFL draft, after playing at Alabama and then Oregon. Lytton played collegiately at Florida State and Penn State, and Hazel played at Maryland and Charlotte. Both the Vikings and Wise issued statements of condolence Saturday.
