INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson was killed early Sunday morning after being hit by a suspected drunk driver along the side of Interstate 70 near Indianapolis, according the Indiana State Police Department.
Jackson and another person, 54-year-old Jeffery Monroe of Avon, Ind., were stopped along the side of I-70 when Monroe, who was believe to be a ride-sharing operator driving Jackson, got out of the car to help Jackson, who was sick. The driver of a Ford F-150 drove onto the emergency shoulder and hit the rear of the car, striking both Jackson and Monroe, with one of the bodies landing in the center lane of I-70, according to a release from the Indiana State Police.
