According to the Chronicle, three former University of Houston teammates were with Hayden. Zach McMillan and Ralph Oragwu were both killed as was another college teammate whose name was not released.<\/p>\n

The crash<\/a> took place when a Chrysler 300 slammed into an Acura SUV in which Hayden and his friends were riding at around 2 a.m., Houston Police Assistant Chief Megan Howard said, according to NBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Chrysler allegedly ran a red light<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Chrysler \u201cappears to be going very fast, high velocity,\u201d Howard said.<\/p>\n

The driver of the Chrysler is dead, she said.<\/p>\n

Two people were injured, one with life-threatening injuries, Howard said.<\/p>\n

Police said one victim was a homeless man, according to KTRK-TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiterally, it sounded like two trains crashing together. I can still hear the sound in my head. It\u2019s nerve-wracking,\u201d a man who said he was also homeless and was a fried of the dead homeless man, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was right next to him. I just had something in my gut telling me to get up, and I got up. But it could have been me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hayden played nine seasons in the NFL, according to the Chronicle. He played four years with the Raiders then went on to the Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars and Washington Commanders. His last NFL season was 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came a long way,\u201d Hayden said after being drafted in 2013, according to the Chronicle. \u201cFor me to be here right now is just a blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n
