The first images of the crash that tragically killed Khyree Jackson have been shared after the Minnesota Vikings rookie had been the passenger in a car that was hit at high speeds on Saturday morning

New images have shown the vehicle that Minnesota Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson had been traveling in when he was tragically killed in a high-speed crash.

The three-car collision that claimed the life of the fourth-round NFL Draft pick Jackson is said to have taken place when 23-year-old Cori Clingman attempted to change lanes at high speeds and struck the vehicle. Investigators noted that alcohol could have been a “contributing circumstance in the crash.”

The crash happened in Jackson’s hometown of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, with his mother receiving a harrowing phone call just minutes later to notify her of her son’s passing.

Jackson, along with close friends, the driver of the Dodge, Isaiah Hazel and backseat passenger, Anthony Lytton Jr were heading northbound in the passenger seat of a maroon Dodge Charger near Route 4/Pennsylvania Avenue.

“Maryland State Police are investigating a fatal crash that claimed three lives this morning in Prince George’s County…” a statement from police read. “Investigators believe Clingman attempted to change lanes while driving at a high rate of speed when she struck the Dodge Charger and then struck the Chevrolet Impala. The Charger subsequently traveled off of the right side of the roadway and struck multiple tree stumps where the vehicle came to rest.”

TMZ have shared the images of the vehicle Jackson had been in ( 
Jackson and Hazel were sadly both pronounced dead at the scene due to the wreckage of the crash, with Lytton Jr transported to a nearby hospital where he passed away.

Jackson’s mother, Ebbony, revealed that she received news of the fatal incident at around 4am.

Clingman had two passengers in the car during the accident while the third vehicle, a Chevrolet Impala, was occupied by a sole motorist. All passengers from these two vehicles left the incident uninjured, with criminal charges pending while an investigation is being led by the Maryland State Police Crash Team.

Jackson’s death left the sporting world heartbroken on Saturday

Tributes have pour in for Jackson, with Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell saying: “I am absolutely crushed by this news. Khyree brought a contagious energy to our facility and our team. His confidence and engaging personality immediately drew his teammates to him.

“In our short time together, it was evident Khyree was going to develop into a tremendous professional football player, but what was more impressive was his desire to become the best person he could be for his family and those around him. I am at a loss for words. My heart goes out to Khyree’s family, friends, teammates and coaches.”

Vikings rookie quarterback and fellow draft pick from 2024, JJ McCarthy, said in tribute: “Too much ahead of him. Rest in peace to a phenomenal athlete but more importantly a really —– great man. See you in the next life fam.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Leave Hand-in-Hand After Her Third Eras Tour Show in Amsterdam: Watch

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are making another cute exit together in Amsterdam!

The couple were spotted leaving hand-in-hand after Swift, 34, performed her third Eras show at Amsterdam’s Johan Cruijff Arena on Saturday, July 6. Kelce, also 34, had come out to support the singer at her final concert in the city, after also attending the previous night’s show.

In a video posted by a concertgoer on TikTok, Swift and Kelce held hands as they walked out from backstage at the arena following the show. Swift smiled and waved at fans as Kelce raised his arms in the air, hyping up the cheering crowd.

Kelce then pointed at Swift as fans continued to celebrate her, before the pair exchanged a sweet look. The tight end then sweetly held out his hand to his girlfriend, who took it as they walked hand-in-hand toward an exit in the arena.

Swift and Kelce’s exit together comes a day after the couple — who went public with their romance in October 2023 — were seen leaving the arena together after Swift’s second show in Amsterdam on Friday, July 5. During that cute departure, the Kansas City Chiefs player even planted a sweet kiss on his girlfriend’s head.

Elsewhere in her final Amsterdam show on July 6, Swift gave a nod to Kelce in a new mashup performance of her 2006 song  “Mary’s Song,” “So High School” and “Everything Has Changed” — which appeared to leave the NFL star pretty emotional.

In a video posted by a fan account on X (formerly Twitter), Kelce appeared to wipe his face several times as he watched Swift perform the mashup, which included a nod to his 87 jersey number and the pair’s birth year in the closing lyrics of the “Mary’s Song” portion of the mashup : “I’ll by 87, you’ll be 89 / I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine / In the sky, oh my my my.”

Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chief’s star Patrick Mahomes — who were both also at the show on July 6 — then appeared to walk up to Kelce and check on him briefly as he wiped his face again.

On Friday, July 5, Swift honored Kelce again at her second Amsterdam show as she referenced him in the lyrics to “Karma,” changing them to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs.”

The singer also did the archer move, referencing Kelce’s signature pose, which she previously did when he attended her shows in Dublin, Ireland, and London in June.

Kelce’s attendance at Swift’s Amsterdam show comes after making it to at least 10 shows of the singer around the globe, including Buenos Aires, Argentina; Singapore, France and London — where he joined Swift onstage for the first time at Wembley Stadium.

Travis Kelce continues to show his support for Taylor Swift by jetting to Amsterdam to watch her perform.

Over the last year, Kelce’s profile has skyrocketed to meteoric levels amid his relationship with pop star Swift as well as his popular “New Heights” podcast. He even appeared on stage during her “Eras Tour” concert at Wembley Stadium in London recently to the acclaim of her legion of fans.

Kelce and Swift went public with their whirlwind relationship back in September, when she attended the win over the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead. She supported him throughout the 2023 season, all the way to the Kansas City Chiefs hoisting the Lombardi Trophy after their Super Bowl LVIII triumph.

Now, the tight end is doing the same. Kelce was recently in London and Dublin to watch Swift in action and once again he was in attendance in the Dutch capital on Friday night. It was previously uncertain whether he would make it to the Netherlands; Kelce was in London playing golf with Patrick Mahomes on Thursday.

After Swift concluded her show, Kelce emerged from behind the stage to escort her back to the dressing room. There was no repeat of his antics at Wembley, where he appeared to the cheers of delirious and carried Swift across the stage.

On Wednesday, Kelce spoke about his cameo for the first time on his podcast, hinting it may not be his last opportunity to take part in the show. He said: “Big shout out to Tay for letting me crash her stage! Who knows, this might not be the last time you see me busting moves out there. You guys are just going to have to keep buying those tickets to the Eras Tour to see if I magically appear from under the stage or something.”

Travis Kelce has attended many Taylor Swift concerts across the world in the NFL offseason
When his brother and co-host Jason asked what he could be scheming next, Kelce added: “Yeah, I warned her. I was like, ‘Look, once I get comfy, I stop following the script and start freestyling.’ It’s a Travis thing, you wouldn’t understand.”

While Kelce has now taken a hands-on approach to Swift’s tour, their available time together is running out. After completing mandatory minicamp earlier this month, the 34-year-old must return to practice on July 21 with fans in the stands as the Chiefs eye a third successive Super Bowl victory.

After Amsterdam, Swift moves on to Zurich, Switzerland, and Milan, Italy before heading to Germany in the middle of July. Kelce is also due to be back in the United States for the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament from July 10 to 14.

After the end of the tournament at Lake Tahoe, Kelce will have six days before returning to work, meaning he could feasibly jet back to Europe for the Gelsenkirchen shows on July 17, 18, and 19 ahead of reuniting with the Chiefs.

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes were loved up at Taylor Swift’s final Eras Tour show in Amsterdam!

The couple was spotted sharing a sweet moment together as they watched Swift, 34, perform her song “Lover” at the event on Saturday, July 6.

In a video posted by a fan account on Instagram, Patrick and Brittany, both 28, linked arms while singing along to Swift in the stands.

Travis Kelce could also be seen with the couple, as he sang along to the track behind them at the Johan Cruijff Arena.

At one point, Brittany and Patrick looked at each other fondly, as Brittany placed her hand on Patrick’s chest. Kelce, 34, meanwhile, held up half a heart sign in a nod to his girlfriend on stage.

During one other portion of the show, Brittany appeared to check up on Kelce as he appeared emotional while watching Swift’s mashup of “Mary’s Song,” “So High School” and “Everything Has Changed.”

In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), Kelce wiped his face as Swift sang the closing lyrics to “Mary’s Song, which included a reference to his 87 jersey number and the pair’s birth year.

“I’ll by 87, you’ll be 89 / I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine / In the sky, oh my my my,” she sang.

Prior to attending the concert, Brittany posted hints that she and Patrick were making their way to the show as she shared a photo of the pair sitting together on a private jet.

“To our next destination we go,” the mom of two wrote over the photo, adding a happy face emoji.

Travis Kelce appears to be getting emotional at Taylor Swift’s latest nod to him during her Eras show!

The Kansas City Chiefs player, 34, seemed moved as he watched Swift, 34, perform a mashup performance of “Mary’s Song,” “So High School” and “Everything Has Changed” at her final show in Amsterdam on Saturday, July 6 at the Johan Cruijff Arena, even spotted wiping his face several times during the performance.

In a video posted by a fan account on X (formerly Twitter), Kelce stood in the stands filming his girlfriend performing on his phone, before swaying slowly to Swift’s mashup performance. At one point, as Swift sang the sweet lyrics from “Everything Has Changed”: “Cause all I know is we said, “Hello”/ And your eyes look like comin’ home/ All I know is a simple name/And everything has changed,” the tight end was seen wiping his face and near to his eyes.

Kelce then clapped his hands above his head before continuing to watch Swift perform the mashup.

Seconds later, Chiefs’ star Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany Mahomes, who also attended the singer’s final Amsterdam show with her husband, walked up to Kelce and appeared to check on him as he wiped his face and eyes once more.

Toward the end of the mashup, as Swift sang the closing lyrics to her 2006 track “Mary’s Song”: “I’ll by 87, you’ll be 89 / I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine / In the sky, oh my my my” — Kelce clapped with his arms raised above his head again as fans in the arena cheered loudly.

The lyrics for “Mary’s Song” have taken on new meaning since the singer and Kelce have been dating as his team jersey number is 87 and both Kelce and Swift’s birth year is 1989 (the singer’s 2014 album is also titled 1989). And of course, “So High School” is believed to be about Swift’s relationship with the tight end, meaning that the mashup itself appeared to be a nod to her boyfriend.

Following the final show in Amsterdam, Kelce and Swift — who sparked dating rumors in September 2023 and went public with their romance in October 2023 — were spotted for the second time by fans leaving the arena together after doing the same the previous night.

In a video posted by a concertgoer on TikTok, the couple emerged from backstage as Swift waved at fans in the stands, while Kelce raised his hands in the air hyping the crowd up before holding out his hand for his girlfriend to take. The pair then sweetly looked at each other before making their exit out of the arena hand-in-hand.

During Swift’s second performance in Amsterdam on Friday, July 5, she paid tribute to Kelce again by throwing her archer pose, recreating the NFL star’s signature pose. Swift also changed the lyrics to “Karma,” to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs” — which she typically does when Kelce attends her shows. Indeed, during the July 6 show she once more made the “Karma” lyric change.

He has been supporting Swift for most of her recent shows in Europe, including in Dublin, Ireland, and London — where he surprised fans by appearing onstage with the singer for the first time at Wembley Stadium.

Netflix had a hit on its hands last summer when it dropped “Quarterback” and took an inside look at the NFL’s top starters and their trials and tribulations through the 2022 season.

In 2023, Netflix announced its “Receiver” project, which will debut later this summer. “Receiver” will take an inside look at the 2023 seasons of Justin Jefferson, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Davante Adams and Amon-Ra St. Brown.

Travis Kelce was not involved in the project, and he talked about why that was despite being one of the most famous NFL stars thanks to who he has been dating for nearly a year.

“I did get asked about it. I just, I don’t know,” Kelce said on “Bussin’ with the Boys.” I’d rather just play ball, man. I’m already doing enough with the podcast and everything. I’m way over the reality s—. I’m out on that s—.”

Kelce said he liked how his brother Jason did his Amazon documentary about his life and the ups and downs that came with the end of his Philadelphia Eagles career. However, for him, he was trying to stay out of reality TV.

For what it is worth, Kelce did the reality TV dating show “Catching Kelce,” but that was way before any inkling of him meeting Taylor Swift appeared on his radar.

NBA legend Karl Malone has again come under fire for his scandalous past following an online rumor claiming he has finally made peace with his son.

It’s been widely known that the former Utah Jazz star had a son with a 13-year-old while he was a fully grown adult, though he never dealt with any consequences.

Malone, now 60, had a son conceived with a 13-year-old Gloria Bell when he was 20. He refused to acknowledge or support him, only meeting him once before they agreed to work on their relationship in 2014.

The son, Demetress Bell, went by the name Demetrius until finding out it was actually spelled “Demetress” in 2012. He was also a basketball player and went to play for Northwestern State College on a scholarship but opted to focus on football, leading to a five-year career in the NFL.

 

Karl Malone Reportedly Announces Major Step In Relationship With His Son

According to a social media claim from Facebook user Vance Michael Collins, Malone recently revealed having made peace with Bell.

“NBA great Karl Malone states he has finally made peace with the son he conceived at age 22 with a 13 year old girl, Gloria Bell!!!” the post reads.

“Malone initially denied paternity fearing imprisonment and REFUSED to pay $125 a week in child support despite earning a total $101,723,378 throughout his NBA career! He eventually settled with the family out of court and a DNA test did in fact reveal Malone to be the father of Buffalo Bills player, Demetrius Bell. Malone now publicly acknowledges Bell as his son.”

Although Malone’s statement has yet to be confirmed, it has led to plenty of online criticism for The Mailman.

“I didn’t handle it right; I was wrong,” he said of his relationships with his children in 2018, having also denied fathering twins who were determined to be his. “Father Time is the biggest thief that’s out there, and you can’t get that back.”
