All five victims and the at-fault driver who died in a crash in Houston that also killed a former NFL player were identified by police Monday.
D.J. Hayden, a first-round pick with the then-Oakland Raiders, as well as two other former University of Houston football players, were among the six people who died in the crash at around 2 a.m. Saturday, police said in an update Monday.
The crash occurred as Christian Herrera, 25, was speeding in a Chrysler 300 and ran a red light, striking an Acura that Hayden and the others were in, police said in a statement.
The people killed in the crash who were in that Acura were Hayden, 33; the two other former University of Houston players, Zachary McMillian, 32, and Izuchu Oragwu, 31; and Lauren Robinson, 32, who was driving that vehicle, police said.
Another man who was pedestrian, Frank Johnson, 31, also died after Herrera’s Chrysler went on the sidewalk after the crash and hit him, police said.
Herrera was the only person in his car, police said.
A 30-year-old woman and 32-year-old man who were also in the Acura remain hospitalized for their injures, according to police. The woman was listed in critical but stable condition and the man was listed in stable condition, with both able to talk, police added.
