NFL football player Deshazor Everett was seriously injured in a car accident.
As his team from Washington announced, the 29-year-old is being treated in a hospital.
However, his life is not in danger.
A woman who was in the car with Everett was killed in the accident on Thursday in the US state of Virginia, according to a statement from the NFL.
According to the league, citing the local sheriff, Everett drove the car.
Another car was therefore not involved in the accident.
Everett has played for Washington in the NFL since 2015 and was featured in all 14 games this season, mostly in the so-called special teams.
With his team, the defensive back recorded six wins and eight losses this season.
