Report: Former Charger Kiel dies in car crash

Sat 5th, July 2008

San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Former Chargers safety Terrence Kiel reportedly died late Friday in a car crash. He was 27 years old.

The San Diego Union-Tribune reported the crash on Saturday. According to police, a witness saw Kiel driving the wrong way down a road before his 2004 Chevy sedan rolled near an intersection in Scripps Ranch, a part of San Diego.

According to the Union-Tribune, Kiel was ejected from his car, and was barely breathing when emergency personnel reached him. The Lufkin, Texas, native was pronounced dead at 11:28 p.m.

A second-round pick from Texas A&M in the 2003 NFL draft, Kiel has been out of the league since the Chargers released him after a guilty plea to a felony drug charge in February 2007, according to the Union-Tribune. Kiel compiled 278 tackles, four interceptions, and two forced fumbles in four seasons with the Chargers, from 2003-2006.
