Basketball player Terrence Clarke, who last month declared for the 2021 NBA draft after playing his freshman season for the University of Kentucky, died Thursday after sustaining fatal injuries in a car accident in Los Angeles, according to the Kentucky athletics department. He was 19 years old.

The accident occurred Thursday afternoon as Clarke's vehicle collided with another that was making a left-hand turn, according to a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department. The LA Fire Department was first on the scene and Clarke was transported to a local hospital where he died from his injuries. "I am absolutely gutted and sick tonight," Kentucky men's basketball head coach John Calipari said, according to a Kentucky press release.

So tragic. This is a true loss for basketball and his family. RIP.

😢

I hope LA take the car and charged with murder after all it kills a person of color put that car on trial or maybe they just going to blame the police that’s what the Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will charge the car for murder

RIP,John 3:16 grandma

So heartbreaking this happening on the eve of him realizing his life long dream of playing in the NBA. Condolences to the family.

There are 40,000 people killed every year from car accidents, why is this one person more important than the others? Why are you reporting on this death and not the others.

so ,who kill him? i wonder the fact who killed him and whether he or she has been punished.
