Accident that claimed life of Khyree Jackson, also claimed lives of Anthony Lytton Jr., Isaiah Hazel

Tragic news came on Saturday for the Dr. Henry Wise High School in Maryland as three of its alumni died in an automobile crash, including recent NFL Draft pick Khyree Jackson.

Jackson, along with Anthony “AJ” Lytton and Isaiah Hazel passed away as a result of the crash, according to the school’s athletics Twitter page. Wise Athletics tweeted out Saturday morning:

“The Dr. Henry A. Wise Athletic Department sends condolences to the families and mourns the loss of Khyree Jackson (State Champ 2016 c/o ’17) Anthony Lytton, Jr. (AJ) (State Champ 2015,16,17 c/o ’18) and Isaiah Hazel (State Champ 2015, 16, 17 c/o ’19). #OnceAPumaAlwaysAPuma.”

Jackson, a cornerback, played at Alabama and transferred to Oregon during his college career before he realized his pro dreams and became a fourth round pick this spring. Meanwhile, Lytton started his career at Florida State and then transferred to Penn State, and Hazel played four years at Maryland before transferring to Charlotte for his final season in college.

Police report provides further details

According to the report from the Maryland Police, troopers from the Forestville Barrack responded to a three-vehicle crash in the early hours of July 6 in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. The crash occurred on northbound Route 4/Pennsylvania Avenue and Presidential Parkway north of Dower House Road. The three vehicles involved were a silver Infinity Q50, a silver Chevrolet Impala and a maroon Dodge Charger.

Notably, investigators believe alcohol may have been a contributing circumstance in the crash. It’s unclear, as of this report, which parties may have been driving under the influence.

Hazel and Jackson were pronounced deceased on the scene while Lytton was transported to the University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center where he was pronounced dead by the attending medical professionals.

“The preliminary investigation indicates the driver of the silver Infiniti, later identified as Cori Clingman, was traveling northbound on Route 4/Pennsylvania Avenue in Prince George’s County,” the report reads. “Investigators believe Clingman attempted to change lanes while driving at a high rate of speed when she struck the Dodge Charger and then struck the Chevrolet Impala. The Charger subsequently traveled off of the right side of the roadway and struck multiple tree stumps where the vehicle came to rest.”

No one was injured in either of the other two vehicles and the road was closed for just over seven hours following the crash.

According to the report, charges are pending the investigation and consultation with the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office.
