El Ced as he was known by Texas fans had a short life, way too short. No details about how the accident happened. It was at an intersection, but was he t-boned by a car running a stop sign or did he run a stop sign? Cedric had several run in's with the Austin area LEO's, in the years after his retirement. I don't know what he was doing at the time of his death. Very popular player when he was playing, right up their with Earl and Ricky Williams in terms of career and popularity. RIP.
More details have emerged. He was traveling at a high rate of speed at night on a curvy road, when a minivan making a left turn pulled out in front of him.
