NFL running back, who also had two stints at Seattle Seahawks, was riding a motorcycle that crashed into an SUV on Sunday night
The 28-year-old American football star Alex Collins, who played for the Seattle Seahawks and Baltimore Ravens, has died in a motorcycle crash in South Florida, authorities said on Tuesday.
The former National Football League (NFL) running back was riding a motorcycle that crashed into an SUV on Sunday night in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Collins began his career in college football with the Arkansas Razorbacks from 2013 to 2015, going on to play in the NFL with two stints at Seattle either side of a season and a half at Baltimore. In January this year he signed for the Memphis Showboats in the south division of the United States Football League.
The SUV involved in Sunday’s crash was making a left turn when Collins’ motorcycle hit its rear passenger side, the police statement said. The impact caused Collins to go through a window of the SUV and come to rest inside the vehicle.
Collins was pronounced dead at the scene, the statement said.
The news of his death was announced on Monday night by the Seahawks alongside a statement from Collins’ family, while the Ravens and the NFL authorities have also reacted to his death.
