RIP Alex Collins

[SeattleAddict]

former Seahawk and Ravens RB died at age 28. Rumors are that he may have crashed his motorcycle - this cause has not been confirmed to my knowledge.

It was indeed a motorcycle accident. Only 28. So sad. Apparently a female driver made an unexpected left turn in front of him, with the driver invoking Marsy's Law to keep her identity a secret.

How sad. I liked him. Wish he could have stayed healthier for us. I've lost two friends on motorcycles to a driver making a sudden left turn, and another one when a driver pulled out in front of him. Rode a lot of trails and dirt bikes growing up, but I'm not a fan of motorcycles anymore. It's too easy to get killed on them.

I wonder how fast he was going. Seems strange to me that the driver was able to almost fully execute the turn (as evidenced by where he made impact/entry)

Big street Sunday night, gonna guess a bit over the speed limit. One assumes he had a helmet on

Investigators said the crash occurred at about 10:20pm Sunday night, when the woman made a left turn and Collins, 28, hit the car and flew through the rear passenger side window.

Collins ended up inside the car and was pronounced dead at the scene, and 911 audio obtained by TMZ saw the woman reportedly tell cops: 'I can't find him!'

'I'm trying to look to see where he is,' she said. Bystanders could also reportedly be heard on the audio minutes later, telling her Collins was inside her car and screaming at her to open the door, the outlet reports.

Jesus so he was alive and conscious screaming??? Good God I wonder if he was slashed by the window and bled out....

[Donn Beach]

I didn't read it that way, I read it the bystanders were screaming at her. Even if he was alive and conscious I doubt he'd be screaming

The SUV was coming from the opposite direction then?

[Donn Beach]

Yeah, I would think Collins speed could be a factor

Oh ok. I read it wrong but it was nebulous how it was written.
