TCU standout Jeff Gladney, woman killed in overnight crash on freeway near Downtown Dallas, teammate says

According to Detective Raul Reyna, it’s believed that the victims were speeding in their vehicle and clipped another vehicle from behind. The speeding vehicle allegedly lost control and struck the pier beam of the freeway and caught fire. 

Detective Reyna says there were two other people in the second vehicle and they weren’t hurt. 

He also confirmed with WFAA that the two people that died were a male and a female. The Medical Examiner is working on identifying them, but a teammate confirmed to WFAA that Gladney was the male victim. 

The sheriff’s office will then reach out to the victims’ loved ones before releasing their names to the public. 

The sheriff’s department says the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
