Last week was a sad week in the National Football League after news came down that former Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson was tragically killed near his hometown of Montgomery, Alabama.
Investigators said Jackson’s 2012 Chevrolet Camaro left a road, struck a tree and rolled over.
On Wednesday, TMZ Sports got a hold of the crash report and it shows that Jackson lost control of his vehicle while he was driving 70 MPH in a 30 mph zone.
“According to the police report, the road where Jackson crashed was not well lit — and he lost control while going around a bend.
When emergency personnel arrived at the scene just a few minutes after the crash, Jackson was “unable to give a reason why he crashed his vehicle.”
The 36-year-old was transported to a nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead.”

The report also revealed that Jackson wasn’t tested for alcohol or drugs at the scene. Despite hearsay, Jackson was wearing his full shoulder and lap seat belt at the time of the crash.
“Officials also note the roadway way dry and the conditions outside of the poor lighting were normal.
They seem to blame the crash on Tarvaris driving at a “high rated speed.”
The 36-year-old was an assistant coach at Tennessee State after 10 seasons in the NFL. He was laid to rest over the weekend.
