Petara Cordero, Chris Smith's girlfriend, the Cleveland Browns' defensive wing, was killed Wednesday morning on a Cleveland highway, the team said.
Smith was arrested after his vehicle, a 2019 Lamborghini of which Cordero was a passenger, had a tire malfunction and reached the median, according to the team. After exiting the car without serious injury, Cordero was struck by an oncoming vehicle. According to a police statement, Smith was not intoxicated and he was not injured.
Smith and Cordero had a girl together last month. Cordero was 26 years old.
The Browns called a team meeting later Wednesday morning to inform the players.
"The words can not describe the pain we feel for Chris after the loss of his girlfriend, Petara," Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam said in a statement. "Our entire organization is in mourning with Chris, his family and the Cordero family, and we will do everything in our power to provide them with our support, comfort and all the necessary resources in this most difficult time."
