Roadside memorial marks fatal crash site of 3 Wise High School football alumni

Jackson and two of his former high school football teammates -- 23-year-old Isaiah Hazel and 24-year-old Anthony "AJ" Lytton Jr.-- were killed early Saturday when a speeding, possibly drunk driver crashed in an Infiniti into their car in Upper Marlboro. The car, a Charger, was knocked off the road, crashing into multiple tree stumps. 

Hazel and Jackson were pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. Lytton was transported to the University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center in Largo, where he later died. 

A state police preliminary investigation indicated that the driver of the Infiniti, 23-year-old Cori Clingman, was heading north on Route 4 when she hit the Charger and an Impala at what they say was high speed. Police say alcohol may have been a factor in the crash. 

Now, many are asking if Clingman or anyone else involved in the crash has been arrested. Maryland State Police said as of Monday morning, no one had been taken into custody or arrested.  

"I am absolutely crushed by this news," he said. "Khyree brought a contagious energy to our facility and our team. His confidence and engaging personality immediately drew his teammates to him. What was more impressive was his desire to become the best person he could be for his family and those around him." 

WUSA9 spoke with a man who had previously coached all three of the men killed, and he said the friends always stayed close to their roots. 

"All of those young men were tight ... [they] played together," Coach LaDawn Parrish said. "It's amazing that they went three separate ways in terms of going to college and playing football, but were still always together when they came back home in the summertime." 

While there are still many unanswered questions about what happened Saturday, what is clear is that all three men made a significant impact in their community and were loved by many. 

 “We are all sort of at a loss and you try to get facts from what you think happened and try to know from different reports, but in the end, what you do know is that we lost three young men," Parrish said. "That’s final.”
