Delanie Walker�s team may have lost the Super Bowl, but Wednesday Walker�s
Twitter followers learned the tight end was dealing with something far
worse � the loss of family.

Walker tweeted that his aunt and uncle, Alice and Bryan Young, were killed
Monday morning following the Super Bowl by a drunk driver.

Multiple reports indicate the driver of the vehicle Necole Thomas, 26, was
able to �escape the accident with minor injuries.�

Bob Warren of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports the crash occurred
around 5:30 am Monday. Louisiana State Police said Thomas was driving at a
�high rate of speed� and hit the back of the car Alice and Bryan Young
were in.

Included in the tweets memorializing his aunt and uncle are two Instagram
photos of the three together.

Alice and Bryan Young�s son, DeAndre Williams, told the Victorville Daily
Press Wednesday that his parents were �great people.� Williams, who is
Walker�s cousin, said his parents attended the Super Bowl as guests but he
declined to focus on school and track.
