Former NFL wide receiver Michael Jackson died in a motorcycle accident Friday in his hometown of Tangipahoa, Louisiana, according to police.

Jackson, who played for the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens, was 48.

Jackson's motorcycle was traveling "at a high rate of speed" around 1 a.m. Friday when it crashed into a car that was backing out of a parking space and into both lanes of the highway, police said.

Jackson struck the driver's side door, and both Jackson and the driver were killed, according to police.

I used to ride one, 2x a woman tried to kill me when they hit me, the 2nd time she got me nearly headon and I went flying and just missed snapping my neck on the curb. But she did break my right leg and left hip so I didn't walk for 3 months. The 3rd time I was on my bike and crossing the sidewalk and a van did a California stop, not comp. stopping and going, and she didn't even see me cause I was looking at her and she was looking left for traffic, thankfully I went flying forward cause she ran the bike completely over b4 stopping. Just wasn't my time yet

RIP Michael
