Jackson, who was in the backseat of the Dodge, got in between the Infiniti and Chevy Impala. His car then collided with a bunch of trees before coming to a halt. By then the care was flattened by the impact. Jackson and Hazel reportedly died on the spot and Lytton was taken to the hospital.

McCarthy and Jackson had formed a great understanding in their two months together in Minnesota. Unfortunately, the Vikings fans will never witness Jackson’s greatness in purple which he showcased while playing for Oregon and Alabama.
