The woman accused of causing the accident that claimed the lives of Minnesota Vikings cornerback Khyree Jackson and his two friends is suspected to have known the former Oregon DB.
According to Maryland State Police, Cori Clingman was driving an Infinity Q5 north on Route 4 Pennsylvania Avenue on Friday night when it hit the Dodge Charger, which Jackson was a passenger in.
The vehicle, driven by the player’s old high school teammate Isaiah Hazel, ran off the road and hit several tree stumps before stopping, per Oregonlive.com. Jackson and Hazel were pronounced dead on the scene, while Anthony Lytton Jr., who was in the back, was pronounced dead at hospital.
Clingman, who also hit a Chevrolet Impala, did not suffer any injuries, nor did her passengers. The driver of the Impala is also okay.
Police believe alcohol consumption was at play, with Clingman suspected to have attempted to switch lanes while driving at a very high speed.
Fans on social media have since pointed to a tweet she shared after the 24-year-old was drafted by the Vikings in April.
Check it out below:
Cori Clingman, the girl who could have caused the crash that led to the death of Khyree Jackson, reposted his tweet when he was drafted? Weird coincidence or did they know each other.

The user who posted the screenshot did warn that the account hasn’t been confirmed as Clingman’s.
Charges were said to be pending as of Saturday.

NFL Fans Are Anointing A New “America’s Team” After ESPN Host Floated The Suggestion

NFL fans are buying into the idea that the Dallas Cowboys have been’ replaced as “America’s Team” following a bold statement from an ESPN analyst.
The Cowboys have held the “America’s Team” moniker since the late 1970s. That nickname has caused widespread debate among football fans for decades, since the Cowboys are also among the most hated teams in professional sports.
During her “First Take” appearance, ESPN’s Courtney Cronin stated that the Cowboys no longer hold the “America’s Team” moniker. Rather, she believes that nickname belongs to Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs:
“They (the Cowboys) haven’t been America’s team since the last time they won a Super Bowl (1995). You know who America’s team is? The Kansas City Chiefs…you’ve got a dynasty…The Cowboys were that back in the ’90s…
What we’re witnessing right now: All-time greatest play from someone like Patrick Mahomes…you can throw Travis Kelce in the mix there too. What makes them America’s Team is the consistency…the ability to do it no matter how many pieces are changing in and out.”
Cronin noted that the Cowboys have recorded three straight 12-win seasons but haven’t endured any playoff success in that period. Cronin cited their stunning 48-32 home loss to the seventh-seeded Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round.
