Metro Nashville police confirm Albert Haynesworth 's brother, Lance McCoy, was killed Thursday night in a motorcycle accident on Gallatin Pike.

McCoy, 23, was traveling at a high rate of speed when he struck a Nissan Altima and was killed about 9 p.m., said police spokeswoman Kristin Mumford.

He was pronounced dead at Vanderbilt Medical Center.

McCoy, who was living in Madison, is one of three sons of Linda Haynesworth. He is the youngest of three.

Haynesworth played football at the University of Tennessee and for the Tennessee Titans and currently plays for the Washington Redskins.

The location police gave for the wreck was 2353 North Gallatin Pike.

There was no evidence of alcohol or drug involvement, police said.

The preliminary cause appears to be excessive speed of the motorcyclist, Mumford said.

Witnesses told police that McCoy was riding his Suzuki motorcycle north on North Gallatin Pike at a high rate of speed when he collided with the Altima that had just pulled out of a CarMax parking lot and was turning south.

McCoy attempted to change lanes to avoid striking the car, but was unsuccessful.

The driver of the Altima, was Benjamin Smith, 27, of Nashville. He told officers that he did not see the motorcycle until impact. He was not significantly injured.

No other injuries reported.
