Per a TMZ report, South Florida tight end Teigan Martin died in a “horrific” car crash in Minnesota:
According to the Carver County Sheriff’s Office, Martin was involved in a one-vehicle wreck at around 5 AM on Monday on a roadway in Hollywood Township.
Police say when first responders arrived at the crash site … they found a black 2013 BMW M5 that had skidded into a ditch. They ID’ed Martin as the driver … and stated he died on the scene.
Authorities believe Martin’s car had crossed over a lane of traffic, entered the ditch, and rolled over before it came to a stop. They stated speed might have been a factor in the wreck … although they did say Martin was wearing a seatbelt.
It’s not yet known if alcohol played a role … cops say an investigation remains ongoing.
Martin played for Liberty before transferring to USF
