Images of the completely wrecked Dodge Charger they were traveling in have now surfaced, showing the extent of the crash’s impact. The vehicle appears to have suffered extensive damage, with its back part completely torn off.

The accident, which occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, involved three cars.

According to Maryland Police, the accident occurred when a woman driving a silver Infinity attempted to change lanes at a high speed, colliding with the Dodge Charger carrying Jackson, Hazel, and Lytton. The impact caused the Charger to veer off the road and strike multiple tree stops before coming to a stop. The woman and her two passengers, as well as the driver of the other vehicle involved, escaped the accident uninjured.

The loss of Jackson, Lytton, and Hazel has left many devastated, including the Minnesota Vikings organization, owners Mark and Zygi Wilf, and head coach Kevin O’Connell.
