NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Nashville police say a half brother of
former Tennessee Titans player Albert Haynesworth was killed in a
motorcycle crash.
According to police, 23-year-old Lance McCoy of Madison was
riding his motorcycle "at a very high rate of speed" Thursday
night when he collided with a car pulling out of a parking lot.
McCoy was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he
died.
The driver of the car, 27-year-old Benjamin Smith of Nashville,
told police he didn't see the motorcycle until impact.
Police say a preliminary investigation shows McCoy's excessive
speed to be the main cause of the accident.
Haynesworth, a defensive tackle with the Washington Redskins,
also has another brother.
His agent, Chad Speck, told The Associated Press on Friday that
Haynesworth had no comment on the death.
