>>Details On Taveras Crash Released
(Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic) -- Details are emerging on the death of 22-year-old St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Oscar Taveras. TMZ Sports cites Dominican Republic police as saying Taveras was driving "very, very fast" on a wet a road Sunday when he lost control of his vehicle and slammed into a huge tree. Both the outfielder and his girlfriend were killed in the accident. The autopsy is ongoing, but there is no immediate evidence that suggests alcohol played a role in the crash. Weather is said to have played a part in the accident, as it was raining around the time of the crash and the roads were slippery. Last year, another person died in the same exact spot under similar weather conditions.
