Mason Alexander, a freshman on the Pittsburgh football team, was killed late Saturday night in a car accident in his Indiana hometown, the program announced.
“I received a call this morning that no parent, teacher or coach ever wants to get — the news of the sudden loss of a young and promising life,” Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi said Sunday in a statement. “Our entire program is shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Mason Alexander’s passing.”
Alexander was a passenger in a 2016 BMW that tried to pass a 2015 Toyota before a hillcrest and swerved to avoid a head-on collision with another car traveling in the opposite direction in Fishers, Ind., the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release.
