The father of NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson was killed Friday when the pickup truck in which he was riding blew a tire and flipped on a highway.


Oliver Tomlinson was killed at about 1:30 p.m. in the one-vehicle rollover, said Charlie Morgan, a Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman. Tomlinson was 71.

The driver, Ronald C. McClain was rushed by ambulance to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition, Morgan said. The 48-year-old McClain is believed to be a relative of Tomlinson's, Morgan said.

Wow what a tragedy....

LT is one of my favorite players, not only because of how amazing he is on the field, but hes known around the league as one of the classiest guys around.

Thats a rarity when it comes to professional athletes today.

Sorry to hear about that, what a tragedy. After the patriots playoff game this year I disagree about LT being a classy player.
