Baltimore Ravens cornerback Tray Walker died Friday from injuries sustained a day earlier in a motorcycle accident in Miami, his agent Ronald Butler confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.
Walker suffered head and other injuries when his dirt bike collided with an SUV on Thursday night. His family was at his bedside when he passed at about 5 p.m. ET in Friday, according to Butler.
"He had the type of injuries that — unless he was treated within minutes of the accident — the survival rate is slim to none," Butler said. "He was not responsive the entire time he was transported to the hospital. I was able to see him this morning and I could kind of tell (the injuries could prove fatal)."
Walker’s Honda dirt bike didn’t have a headlight and he was wearing a dark clothing, police said.
Ravens spokesperson Kevin Byrne told USA TODAY Sports that the team was informed of Walker's passing by his godmother. Teammates took to Twitter to post their reactions to Walker's death.
