A former University of Indianapolis basketball player was killed in a crash on I-65 early Friday morning, the university confirms.
Omokhoje Daniel Daudu a 28year old born Nigerian, was killed when a large part broke off the rear of a northbound semitractor-trailer and struck Daudu’s 2012 Buick LaCrosse as he was driving southbound around 5:30 a.m., according to Indiana State Police.
The crash happened near the I-465 ramps on the city’s south side.
Preliminary reports indicated the semitractor-trailer had rolled over and was blocking the northbound lane, according to ISP. Troopers found Daudu seriously injured and unconscious. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The University of Indianapolis released a statement Friday about Daudu, who also went by Daniel.
"(We) mourn the loss of Daniel Daudu, who is a well-loved alumnus and former student-athlete," the statement read. "During his time on campus, Daniel impacted our entire community. Daniel will be remembered for his athleticism, sense of humor, generous smile and compassion for others. Our hearts and prayers go out to Daniel's family, friends, UIndy basketball and the entire UIndy family."
