Cori Clingman is a 23-year-old woman who has been identified as the driver involved in the fatal car crash that tragically resulted in the deaths of the three football players.
The silver Infiniti she was driving crashed into the Dodge Charger carrying Khyree Jackson, Isaiah Hazel and Anthony Lytton Jr
Clingman’s vehicle also collided with a Chevy Impala, but thankfully none of the passengers in this vehicle were seriously injured.
She is yet to be charged, but Maryland State Police said charges are pending in consultation with the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Isaiah Hazel, 23, was a former defensive back for the Charlotte 49ers college football team.
Khyree Jackson, 24, played college football for Alabama and Oregon and was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings for the NFL in 2024.
AJ Lytton, 24, played two seasons with Florida State and one season with Penn State.
The three men were all friends who had played football together for years.
They all attended Dr. Henry A. Wise Jr. High School in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, where they won several state championships together.
At around 3am in the morning of Saturday, July 6, 2024, the three men were travelling in the Charger that was hit by Clingman’s car.
The Maryland woman was speeding as she changed lanes on northbound Route 4 in Prince George’s County, Maryland State Police said.
The Charger was forced off the road and hit multiple tree stumps.
Alcohol might have been a factor in the crash, police said.
Passengers in the Infiniti and the Impala emerged from the accident unharmed and with relatively little damage to their vehicles.
Jackson and Hazel, who was driving the Charger, were both pronounced dead at the scene.
Another former teammate, Anthony Lytton Jr., 24, was brought to the University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.
Clingman was identified by police in a statement as being responsible for the crash.
The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Clingman had previous charges for driving over the speed limit.
The 23-year-old has received two speeding tickets for exceeding the speed limit of 55 mph zones, including an incident where she was reportedly traveling at almost twice the limit.
Clingman was first caught in 2018 for travelling at 69mph in a 55mph zone.
In 2020, police also caught Clingman flying through a 55mph zone at 100mph.
She served a year of unsupervised probation for her first arrest, but the outcome of the second arrest is unknown.
