Woman indicted in car crash that killed Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson and 2 others

UPPER MARLBORO, Maryland — A woman was charged on Thursday for her involvement in a car accident on July 6 that resulted in the death of Khyree Jackson, a rookie cornerback for the Minnesota Vikings, and two of his former high school friends.

Cori Clingman faces 13 charges, including vehicular manslaughter connected to driving while under the influence, as stated by prosecutors from Prince George’s County in Maryland, which is a suburb of Washington D.C.

Clingman faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted, State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy said.

“This marks the beginning of our efforts to seek justice for these three young men, their families, Wise High School, the NFL, and the entire community,” Braveboy commented.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether Clingman had an attorney. Braveboy said Clingman was arrested without incident and would have a bond review on Friday.

Jackson was a fourth-round draft pick by the Vikings in April. He played two years at Alabama before finishing his college career with one season at Oregon.

Jackson, 24, and Isaiah Hazel died at the scene of the three-car crash, while Anthony Lytton Jr. died at a hospital. Lytton was 24 and Hazel was 23.

The three were in the same vehicle just after 3 a.m. when it was struck by another vehicle that was speeding and changing lanes, police said.

“We believe that there was contact made between Ms. Clingman’s vehicle and the victims’ vehicle,” Braveboy said.

Hazel was driving and Jackson and Lytton were passengers. Their car veered off the road after being hit and struck multiple tree stumps.

Nobody was injured in the second or third vehicles.

Hazel played college football at Maryland and Charlotte, and Lytton played at Florida State and Penn State.

The three won a state championship together at Maryland’s Dr. Henry A. Wise Jr. High School.
