UFC Lightweight Desmond Green Involved in Fatal Five-Car Crash
UFC lightweight Desmond Green was involved in a five-car crash in Florida over the weekend that resulted in two deaths.
Green apparently lost control of his Dodge Durango just before 6:15 a.m. local time on Saturday on Interstate 75 in Davie, Fla., according to Florida Highway Patrol spokesperson Alvaro Feola. His SUV veered into the path of a tractor-trailer, which caused a chain reaction that included three additional vehicles.
Emelina Morfa, 67, and Emma Suarez Hernandez, 76, were killed in the crash, while Mily Vita-Vega, 64, was seriously injured and transported to a local hospital in Hollywood, Fla.
Green and the driver of another vehicle suffered minor injuries.
According to reports, Feola said the Florida Highway Patrol was still investigating why Green lost control of the SUV.
