BREAKING: Dallas Cowboys’ Marshawn Kneeland Drove 145 MPH Before Fatal Crash
UPDATE: In a shocking turn of events, Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland was driving at speeds exceeding 145 miles per hour moments before a crash that led to his tragic death. This incident occurred on November 5, 2025, just hours before he took his own life in Frisco, Texas.
According to official reports from the Texas Department of Public Safety, Trooper Preston Hagaman first spotted Kneeland’s black Dodge Charger shortly after 10:30 p.m. near the intersection of Dallas North Tollway and Frankford Road. As the trooper pursued, he observed Kneeland making several unsafe lane changes and reaching alarming speeds.
The pursuit escalated as Kneeland exited onto Headquarters Drive and drove recklessly through intersections. Despite Hagaman activating his lights and siren, he lost sight of Kneeland’s vehicle near Lebanon Road. Moments later, the Charger was located traveling southbound on the Dallas Parkway before crashing into another vehicle and losing control, ultimately ending up in a grassy field.
“This incident is a tragic reminder of the pressures athletes face,” said a spokesperson from the Dallas Cowboys organization. “Our thoughts are with his family and teammates during this difficult time.”
Kneeland’s last game took place just days prior to his death, highlighting the urgency of mental health discussions in professional sports. Following his passing, his teammates observed a moment of silence for him during a game against the Las Vegas Raiders on November 17, 2025.
This developing story raises critical questions about the mental health support available to athletes. As the Cowboys prepare for their first home game since his death against the Philadelphia Eagles, discussions about mandatory therapy for players are gaining momentum.
As the investigation continues, authorities are urging anyone who may be struggling with mental health issues to seek help. The NFL community is rallying around Kneeland’s family, emphasizing the importance of addressing mental health challenges among players.
This tragic event underscores the need for urgent action in improving mental health resources in sports. Fans and players alike are grappling with the loss, and the Cowboys organization is committed to honoring Kneeland’s memory by advocating for mental health awareness.
