US soccer player Charlie Davies was injured in a fatal car crash on the George Washington Memorial Parkway at Boundary Channel Drive on Tuesday morning (October 13). Charlie is in a stable condition, the extent of his injuries are not life-threatening but may dictate the end of his career.

“Obviously, as a team we were saddened to learn this news,” U.S. coach Bob Bradley said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Charlie and his family, as well as the other person in the car and the families of the others involved. … We are relying on each other in a moment that has for sure hit us all hard.”

One of three people in one car, not the driver, identified as 22 year-old Ashley J. Roberta, of Phoenix, Md., died at the scene. Charlie and another unidentified person were in another car. There are no more details about the survivors of the crash or whether or not the 23 year-old soccer player was driving. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
