NBA agent Dan Fegan has died in a car crash in Colorado on Sunday, 25 February 2018, aged 56. According to Aspen Times, he was driving his SUV when it was struck by a bus on Highway 82 near Aspen.
He was trying to cross the highway 82 when he was hit by the bus, Aspen Times reported. There were two more passengers in the SUV, his five-year-old son, and a 29-year-old California woman, who sustained serious injuries-they were taken to hospital in Denver immediately in a flight.
The bus was carrying one passenger, but neither the passenger nor the driver was injured in the crash. The Roaring Fork Transportation Authority chief executive Dan Blankenship told Aspen Times that,
The bus didn't have time to avoid the collision, so it broadsided the other vehicle and knocked it into the median.
Fegan's family released a statement through a spokesperson Terry Fahn who said
Today we lost a great man, father, son and brother who always stood up not only for his clients but also for what he knew was right. We are all shocked and saddened by this tragic development and appreciate the outpouring of support. We ask for privacy at this difficult time.
