According to a police spokeswoman, McCoy was speeding when he struck a car at around 9 p.m, later pronounced dead at Vanderbilt Medical Center. He was reportedly driving around 100 mph and weaving in and out of traffic. Police have said there was no evidence of alcohol or drugs as a factor.
Haynesworth wasn't spotted at Redskins Park as of early Friday and a team spokesman said it was a personal matter. Mike Shanahan addressed it after practice.
"Obviously what he's going through right now is paramount," Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said about the 29-year-old Haynesworth, with whom he has been at odds over attendance, scheme and role for seven months. "We're giving him and his family all of our prayers and thoughts.
"I think that's the main concern right now. I would never ask somebody if they're going to play when a tragedy like that just happened. We'll just let the course of time take care of itself and we'll find out what's going on."
Haynesworth has had an eventful offseason in which tension with Shanahan has built, at times overwhelming coverage of the team itself. Haynesworth has appeared in three of the Redskins' first four games, and had his best performance of the season last Sunday against the Eagles. Shanahan said of Haynesworth's performance, "The more he plays like that, the more he's going to play."

Karma's a Bitch!
HOW CAN YOU SAY THIS IS KARMA?

zangsongwean. Bite one.
"I'm 30 ,.It's hard to get a girlfriend in my town "
Maybe you should broaden your horizons and try dating a guy?
shromike-What does this have to do with karma? That is awful insensitive. This guy just lost his brother. I'm not a Redskins fan. Not even a fan of the NFC East, but he is a human being first, and he just lost his brother to an accident. It's not like it was a prolonged disease where he wanted to go, but a kid in an accident.
You show no heart. I don't care what team you root for, you are the worst person ever. How's this for no heart. I hope O.J. gets out of prison, and moves right next door to you, and you anger him.
Maybe LAWRENCE WOLFF you get a date cuz you are not good looking. Ever thought of plastic surgery or maybe a paper bag over your head?
jackass - regardless of what you feel about someone, you don't wish that on anybody. I don't care for Haynesworth at all, but again you don't wish this on anyone, how does loss of life compare to Haynesworth and Redskins situation - jackass - no dumb jackass

You have no soul.
Sorry, there is no such thing as Karma. Only laws of nature and spirit.
EX NFL STAR? ...lol, what is up with these writers! ...does AOL want my resume!
And why is this national news?
When you speed on a bike, weaving in and out of traffic, what other outcome do you expect? He chose to ride recklessly and Karma took control of the situation. Make sense? Thought so.
I agree... you drive reckless you are begging for a disasterous ending... and people who dive that way tend to drive that way regularly and then they are just a ticking time bomb waiting to hurt themselves or others. It is a good thing no one else got hurt... but I do not really feel sorry for the person who drives recklessly, gambles, and loses. I like to think some Karma is involved as well.
well,if you think its "karma",you had better be prepared as well,as i suspect you are not the perfect human...his sin is greater than any we have not to deserve punishment?
Sad news, sympathies to his family and friends. 100 MPH you see it just about every day motorcycles weaving in and out of traffic guess they must think they have an angel sitting on their shoulder or maybe they don't care about their life or the lives of others on the road. Slow down people no one wants to see you smeared all over the road.
How can he be his brother when he has a different last name????????? I have 5 sisters and we all have the same name.
DUH different fathers maybe? Ya think?
"DUH different fathers maybe? Ya think?"
Makes them half-brothers you idiot...
