Two Missouri Southern football players die from car accident

Sat 3rd, December 2011

Joplin, MO (Sports Network) - Two Missouri Southern football players have died as the result of a car accident early Friday morning.

The students who died were Michael McCrimmons, a freshman defensive back, and Diondre Johnson, a redshirt freshman tight end.

Two other student-athletes -- football player Jeremy Johnson and golfer Patrick Holt -- were seriously injured.

According to the school's athletics website, Missouri Highway Patrol reported the accident occurred on I-44 when the SUV carrying the four student-athletes overturned. A passenger was ejected and the vehicle came to rest before being hit by a semi-trailer truck, shutting down the eastbound lanes of the highway.

One of the passengers of the SUV was hit by a car after exiting the overturned vehicle.

Holt was flown to St. John's Hospital in Springfield, while Johnson was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

A football team meeting was held at noon Friday, while the university has planned a candlelight vigil at 6:30 p.m. (ct) Friday at the Flag of Freedom Plaza on the campus oval.
