Brother of Wayne killed in traffic accident
NFL.com wire reports
KENNER, La. (Sept. 24, 2006) -- The brother of Indianapolis Colts receiver Reggie Wayne was killed when the delivery truck he was driving crashed into a highway guardrail.
Rashad Wayne was pronounced dead at the scene, said James Gallagher, a spokesman for the Kenner Police Department.
Police responded to a call at 10:15 a.m. about a wreck on westbound Interstate 10. Officers found a Capital City Produce Company truck stopped in the highway's right lane and found the 32-year-old Wayne in the cab with a severe head injury.
A preliminary investigation determined that the truck was traveling in the left lane on the upramp of the interstate bridge, but crossed three lanes as it started fishtailing and then hit the right retaining wall, Gallagher said.
"It slid along the top of the wall on its side a short distance before landing back on its wheels across the lanes leading to Interstate 310," he said.
Rashad Wayne is from Baker, a bedroom community north of Baton Rouge. An autopsy will be performed later to determine the exact cause of his death.
His brother, Reggie Wayne, a New Orleans native, is in his sixth year with the NFL. The Colts played in Indianapolis, but the team did not address the accident and told The Associated Press after the game that a statement was pending.
