Former University of Texas and NFL running back Cedric Benson dies in motorcycle wreck

Lee High and University of Texas star running back Cedric Benson died Saturday night in a two-vehicle wreck in Austin, according to a story by the Associated Press.

Benson’s attorney, Sam Bassett, said Austin law enforcement told him that Benson was killed in the wreck Saturday night. Bassett said he did not have details of the accident, according to the AP story,

CBS affiliate KEYE also reported on its website that the crash involved a motorcycle and a minivan, and that medics declared a man and a woman in their 30s dead at the scene. Two other people refused transport to the hospital.

The KEYE report also cites a law enforcement spokesperson, who said that the motorcycle was traveling westbound on Ranch-to-Market Road 2222 when it struck a minivan that was pulling onto the roadway. The two people who died on scene were on the motorcycle, the spokesperson said.
