Tulane Football Player Sule Osagiede Dies In Texas Car Accident


Posted on Feb 25, 2010

Houston native and Tulane football player Sule Osagiede died in a car accident in Beaumont, Texas, this week. The 19-year-old student was a sophomore who played as a true freshman last year as a linebacker but spent most of this season sitting out due to a serious neck injury. 

The car accident took place at 5:30 am on Thursday morning on In-10 near 11th Street in Beaumont. Osagiede was driving a Jeep which collided with a Ford Expedition. Osagiede was thrown from the vehicle. Osagiede’s passenger, a 25-year-old man, was injured and taken to the hospital as well the 33-yaer-old driver of the other vehicle involved. According to the Beaumont Police Department, the Jeep was speeding and the Ford in front of them swung to the right in order to avoid the approaching car. The Jeep swung left and both cars rolled over. Both cars were traveling westbound.

The accident caused major traffic problems for hours after the TX car crash, with vehicles backed up into Orange County for four hours.

“The death of Sule Osagiede is a tragedy and as a parent I cannot imagine the grief and heartache being experienced by his family,” Tulane President Scott Cowen said. “My thoughts, prayers and sympathy are with them." Osagiede’s memorial service this week packed the university auditorium with friends and mourners.

He was traveling home to Houston from college at the time of the Texas car wreck.
