According the report from the sheriff's office, Everett's vehicle, a 2010 Nissan GT-R, swerved out of the side of the roadway before hitting multiple trees and rolling over. Both Everett and Peters were taken to the hospital, where Peters later passed away as a result of her injuries.
Everett, 29, also sustained injuries as a result of the crash which were deemed serious, but his ailments are not expected to be life-threatening.
Both the Washington Football Team and head coach Ron Rivera issued statements in response to the tragedy, in which they offered their remorse to the victim's family.
“My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the young lady and also go out to Deshazor and his family as well,” Rivera said via ESPN. “It's a very difficult situation, and we'll let things go on and let the police and the investigation go through and find out what happened.”
Everett has been with Washington since 2015, serving mostly as a special teams player for the NFC East squad. Across 89 career games the safety has recorded 170 tackles, two forced fumbles, and two interceptions. He was undrafted out of Texas A&M in 2014 before latching on with Washington.
