LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. — Current NFL player and former Texas A&M star Deshazor Everett is in the hospital after being involved in a single-vehicle wreck Thursday night that killed his passenger.
Our sister station, WUSA, got a statement from the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia, confirming the wreck. The sheriff’s office says a car driven by Everett left the roadway, hit several trees and rolled over.
According to investigators, Everett’s passenger — a 29-year-old woman from Las Vegas — was taken to the hospital, where she died from her injuries.
Everett was also taken to the hospital and was being treated for serious injuries that aren’t considered life-threatening.
The team tweeted a statement on the accident, saying they’re working with the NFL and local authorities to get more information. They say they won’t comment further.
