    In an “awful” car accident, a 33-year-old former NFL player has died:

    San Jose State football legend Chandler Jones has died, the team announced Monday. He was 33.

    Jones died in an accident in Los Angeles involving a Toyota RAV4, according to MyNewsLA. The crash occurred early Sunday morning around 2 a.m. on the eastbound Marina Freeway, the California Highway Patrol said. Jones was pronounced dead at the scene.

    Jones, a former honorable mention All-American wide receiver, holds numerous program records and remains the Spartans’ career leader in catches and receiving touchdowns. He also had a stint on the SJSU coaching staff as a graduate assistant following his professional career, which included time in both the NFL and CFL.

    Montreal general manager Danny Maciocia announced the news on Tuesday morning.

    “Our thoughts are with Chandler’s family and loved ones as they navigate this incredibly difficult time,” Maciocia said in a statement. “We extend our heartfelt condolences and offer them our full support.”

    Jones previously worked as a coach for San Jose State and the College of Idaho at the college level. He was a standout performer at the college level. Jones caught 79 passes for 1,356 yards and 15 touchdowns in his final collegiate season, earning a first-team All-Mountain West selection.
