Three former Houston football players, including former NFL first-round corner D.J. Hayden, were among six people killed in a car crash in Houston early Saturday morning.
Hayden, along with former defensive back Zach McMillan and offensive lineman Ralph Oragwu were among four people pronounced dead at the scene after a car ran past a red light going over the speed limit, colliding with another vehicle. Four other people involved in the accident were hospitalized, two of whom were announced deceased shortly thereafter.
Hayden made headlines after surviving a freak injury to his heart during practice in 2012.
