Woman charged in car crash that killed Vikings CB Khyree Jackson and two others

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. – A woman was charged Thursday in the July 6 car crash that killed Minnesota Vikings rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson and two of his former high school teammates.

Cori Clingman was indicted on 13 counts, including manslaughter related to driving under the influence, according to prosecutors in Prince George’s County, a Washington suburb.

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

“This only begins our fight to achieve justice for these three young men, their families, Wise High School, the NFL and this entire community,” Braveboy said.

It was not immediately clear whether Clingman had an attorney. Braveboy said Clingman was arrested without incident and will face a bond review Friday.

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

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

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

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

Hazel was driving and Jackson and Lytton were passengers. Their car left the road after being hit and hitting several tree stumps.

No one was injured in the second or third vehicle.

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 Dr. Henry A. Wise Jr. High School in Maryland.
