Honk News (Baltimore, MD) – A woman has been taken into custody following a grand jury’s decision to indict her on 13 charges, including driving under the influence and criminally negligent vehicular manslaughter, in connection with a tragic car accident on July 6, 2024, that resulted in the deaths of Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson and two of his former high school teammates.
Prosecutors in Prince George’s County have revealed that Cori Clingman faces charges nearly seven months following the tragic crash that resulted in the deaths of Jackson, Isaiah Hazel, and Anthony Lytton Jr.
She stayed in custody on Thursday and was set to have a bond hearing on Friday.
Clingman could be sentenced to up to 30 years behind bars.
“Every individual had a unique story, held significance, and their loss is a profound tragedy for their loved ones and our community,” stated Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy during a press conference on Thursday. “These were three young individuals who had found their path in life, with incredible and promising futures before them.” However, on July 6th, they were removed from our lives entirely.
In the early hours of July 6, at approximately 3:14 a.m., a collision took place involving an Infinity Q50, reportedly driven by Clingman, which crashed into a Dodge Charger occupied by Jackson, Hazel, and Lytton, as well as a Chevrolet Impala.
According to Maryland State Police, the Charger veered off the road and collided with several stumps.
Jackson and Hazel were declared deceased at the location, while Lytton succumbed to injuries later at the hospital.
Information regarding the investigation was scarce, but Braveboy indicated that Clingman had a BAC “at least” exceeding the legal threshold of 0.08 percent.
“This was an unimaginable disaster that should never have happened,” Braveboy stated. “This is only the beginning of our struggle to seek justice for these three young men, their families, Wise High School, the NFL, and the entire community.”
All three individuals involved were athletes, with Hazel having participated in the programs at Maryland and Charlotte, while Lytton and another had experience with Florida State and Penn State’s athletic teams.
