LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Two former National Football League players were killed on Thursday when their speeding car slammed into an empty bus, possibly as they were racing another vehicle on a Los Angeles street, police said.
Police declined to release the names of the men but local media identified the passenger as 29-year-old Darrell Russell, a former defensive tackle with the Oakland Raiders, Washington Redskins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Authorities said the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix struck a curb around 6 a.m. local time, clipped a fire hydrant and smashed into the bus, which was not in service.
Firefighters worked for more than 20 minutes to pry the men from the car before taking them to local hospitals, where they were pronounced dead.
