Cori Clingman, the Maryland woman charged in the tragic car crash that killed three former Wise High School football players, including NFL rookie Khyree Jackson, has a history of speeding violations. According to The U.S. Sun, Cori Clingman had been caught speeding multiple times in the past.
Back in 2018, Cori Clingman was pulled over for going 69 mph in a 55 mph zone, which led to a year of unsupervised probation. Then, in 2020, she was caught speeding again, this time driving 100 mph in a 55 mph zone.
Though it's not clear what happened with that second violation yet, it’s evident this wasn’t her first run-in with the law for reckless driving.
24-year-old Cori Clingman was taken into custody on Thursday, January 23, and is facing charges of negligent manslaughter, homicide due to reckless driving, driving under the influence, and several other offenses, according to the Star-Tribune. If convicted, she could face up to 30 years behind bars, reported People Magazine.
What exactly did Cori Clingman do?
Cori Clingman was driving an Infiniti on July 6, 2024, when she caused a tragic three-car crash that resulted in the deaths of Minnesota Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson, 24, Isaiah Hazel, 23, and Anthony Lytton Jr., 24.
A silver Infiniti Q50, Chevrolet Impala, and Dodge Charger were the vehicles involved in the crash. According to the Maryland State Police, Cory Clingman was speeding northbound on Route 4 while intoxicated.
She collided with a Charger and an Impala, knocking the Charger off the road and into multiple trees, where Jackson, Hazel, and Lytton Jr. were inside. Jackson and Hazel were pronounced dead at the scene, while Lytton Jr. later died at a hospital.
Clingman was reportedly racing another vehicle at the time of the crash, though officials have not confirmed if the race involved the men in the Charger.
According to WUSA9, family members of Cori Clingman revealed that she and the victims were long-time friends and attended the same high school. The passengers in the Impala were unharmed. The investigation is still ongoing.
Prince George's County State's Attorney Aisha Braveboy confirmed that the investigation into the crash is still underway. She also revealed that Cori Clingman's blood alcohol content was 'at least' above Maryland's legal limit of 0.08%, according to ESPN.
