Authorities: Washington's Everett was driver in fatal crash
DULLES, Va. (AP) — A passenger in a car driven by Washington Football Team safety Deshazor Everett was killed when the vehicle slammed into several trees and rolled over, authorities said.
The passenger — Olivia S. Peters, 29, of Las Vegas — died at a hospital after Thursday night's crash along a road near Aldie, Virginia, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.
Everett, 29, of Brambleton, Virginia, was being treated at a hospital for injuries that were serious but not life-threatening, according to a team statement.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been affected by this tragedy," the team statement says. "Our team has alerted the league office and is working with local authorities as we continue to gather more information."
The cause of the crash remained under investigation on Friday. No charges were immediately filed, said sheriff's office spokesman Kraig Troxell.
Everett, a special teams captain in 2018, is in his seventh season for Washington. He was placed on the team's reserve/non-football injury list.
Everett has two career interceptions. He has played in 14 games this year, making five solo tackles and assisting on five others.
"The only thing I want to say is that I was very saddened to hear the news," Washington coach Ron Rivera said Friday. "My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the young lady and also go out to Deshazor and his family as well. It's a very difficult situation and we'll let things go on and let the police and the investigation go through and find out what happened."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon has declassified and publicly released video footage of a U.S. drone strike in Kabul that killed 10 civilians in the final hours of a chaotic American withdrawal that ended a 20-year war in Afghanistan.
The New York Times obtained the footage through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against U.S. Central Command, which then posted the imagery to its website. It marks the first public release of video footage of the Aug. 29 strike, which the Pentagon initially defended but later called a tragic mistake.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — The widow and two sisters of a U.S. Marine killed in Afghanistan are suing Alec Baldwin, alleging the actor exposed them to a flood of social media hatred by claiming on Instagram that one sister was an "insurrectionist" for attending former President Donald Trump's Washington, D.C., rally on Jan. 6 last year.
The sister, Roice McCollum, protested peacefully and legally; was not among those who stormed the U.S. Capitol that day and, after being interviewed by the FBI, "was never detained, arrested, accused of or charged with any crime," according to the lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Cheyenne.
