Agent: Tray Walker unresponsive, 'fighting for life' after crash

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Tray Walker is unresponsive and "fighting for his life" after a serious accident in Liberty City, Florida, on Thursday night, agent Ron Butler told ESPN on Friday.

Several high-ranking Ravens officials were headed down to Miami on Friday to support Walker and his family.

Walker was believed to be riding a dirt bike recreationally with another NFL player, said Butler, who does not know the name of that player.

Doctors at the Ryder Trauma Center in Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital haven't divulged to Butler the exact nature of Walker's injuries. Walker was not wearing a helmet, Butler said.

The driver of the Ford stayed and cooperated with police, but even though it appears it wasn't his fault, it's still a terrible thing to live with.

That's the definition of "tragic" alright. Totally foreseeable, and yet it happened. "You are making and will continue to make important choices pretty much every day."

That's got to be traumatizing all around.

Highly unlikely he would have walked away unscathed as a passenger in a fatal bike accident. I think they were riding together.
