Former NFL running back Alex Collins was killed in a motorcycle crash in Florida, authorities said. Both his former teams and his agent confirmed the 28-year-old’s death.
Collins, who last played with the Seattle Seahawks in 2021, was riding a 2004 Suzuki GSX-R600K when he crashed into a Chevrolet Suburban SUV on West Oakland Park Boulevard in Lauderdale Lakes on Sunday around 10:20 p.m. local time, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said Monday.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said. The driver of the SUV, identified as an adult female, cooperated with the investigation, according to the sheriff’s office.
Collins was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in 2016 and went on to also play with the Baltimore Ravens for multiple seasons before finishing off his NFL career with the Seahawks. The Seahawks posted a statement from Collins’ family announcing his death.
