Collins played for the Baltimore Ravens from 2017 to 2018, which included stints on either side of his time with the Seattle Seahawks.
Alex Collins, a former running back for the Baltimore Ravens and Seattle Seahawks, has died at the age of 28 following a horrific motorcycle crash in Miami. Collins was riding a 2004 Suzuki GSX-R600K motorcycle when it collided with a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban SUV on Sunday evening. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Broward County Sheriff’s Office said that Collins collided with the back passenger side of the SUV, breaking through the window and coming to a stop inside the vehicle. His unfortunate death comes shortly before his 29th birthday on August 26. Tributes have been pouring in from all corners since the news of his death broke.
Tragic Death
Collins was heading eastbound on West Oakland Park Boulevard in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida on his motorcycle when he collided with the woman driving a 2002 Chevrolet who was driving westbound and attempting a left turn, according to a police report obtained by sports radio host Andy Slater.
“According to investigators, at some point, the Chevrolet driver proceeded to turn left to travel south onto Northwest 33rd Avenue,” the report said. “As the car crossed the eastbound lanes, the motorcycle struck the rear passenger side of the SUV.
“The impact caused the motorcyclist to enter the rear passenger side window of the Chevrolet and come to a final rest inside the car. The collision also caused the Chevrolet to rotate clockwise before finally resting.”
As stated in the report, Collins died at the scene. The SUV driver cooperated with the ongoing investigation.
Detectives from the Broward Sheriff’s Office are currently looking into the incident.
