The driver, distracted by their phone and reportedly running a red light, collided with her in what authorities have described as a preventable and devastating incident.
Emergency crews arrived on the scene within minutes. After administering aid, it was then that paramedics discovered the identity of the victim — the mother of NFL star Jaylen Warren. Witnesses say the scene turned emotional as Warren, who had arrived shortly after being contacted, was seen embracing his family in shock and disbelief.
Jaylen Warren has not yet made an official public statement, but his Steelers teammates and coaches have rallied around him, expressing support and prayers during what is clearly a heartbreaking time. Head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media briefly, saying:
“Jaylen is more than a player — he’s family. And right now, our entire organization is focused on supporting him and his loved ones in every way possible.”
The woman was rushed to a nearby hospital and remains in critical but stable condition, according to sources familiar with the situation.
