Former Ohio State football player Kirk Barton, 40, was arrested early Saturday morning and charged with aggravated vehicular homicide after a deadly crash in Dublin, Ohio.
According to city officials, Barton was driving his pickup truck at a high rate of speed when he struck a Lexus on West Bridge Street just before 3 a.m.
The driver of the Lexus, 24-year-old Ethan Perry, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Barton, who sustained non-life-threatening injuries, was treated at a local hospital and later taken into custody. He is currently being held at the Franklin County Jail.
A standout offensive guard for the Buckeyes, Barton was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL Draft.
