Wow that's terrible. 0% BAC, seems like some kind of freak accident. Really awful for all involved.

Tragic.

Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick said Boeheim was traveling at the proper speed for the highway.

Boeheim issued a statement Thursday.

"I am heartbroken that a member of our community died as the result of last night's accident," he said. "(Boeheim's wife) Juli and I extend our deepest sympathies to the Jimenez family. Out of respect for those involved, I will not be providing further comment at this time."

Fitzpatrick said Boeheim, 74, was returning home from dinner with his wife and friends. He had guided the Orange to a 69-49 victory over No. 18 Louisville at the Carrier Dome a few hours earlier.

"It's just a terrible, unfortunate accident," Fitzpatrick told ESPN. "We don't yet know [exactly] what caused the initial accident. Coach Boeheim was not involved in that accident. The occupants of the vehicle, including the deceased, were wandering in the road."

No traffic citations were issued, but the investigation is active and ongoing, according to police.

I was relieved to read Boeheim had no drugs or alcohol in his system and was going the legal speed limit. It appears to be a very tragic accident. I feel badly for all involved, especially the person that was struck and killed.

Icy roads?

Terrible story. Very sad. Can't imagine what the victim's family is going through this morning, not to mention Boeheim.

Sounds like a very tragic accident. A good reminder that college basketball is only a game played by young men.

Horrible, almost incomprehensible news. Prayers to those whose lives and loved ones have been affected by this tragic event.
