According to that, his car blew out a tire in the traffic lane of the interstate and while he was waiting for help from a deputy, a semi plowed into his car, he was thrown from the car and killed.
In 2010, he ran 32.32 300m, NCAA indoor record, and 45.03i as well, some pretty incredible times.
I've been following his career for a while and he's always been a solid and consistent runner. My condolences to his family, friends, teammates, and coaches.
