I'd have to see a list of incidents of actual killings, but yes, it does seem every year, at least one big-name potential draft pick gets in trouble with the law.
Adding to this by saying the fuller stories about this say he was apparently weaving in and out of traffic on a two-lane road. My goodness, the number of times I've grrr-ed at other drivers who pass me on a two-lane road by people who think I'm apparently not driving fast enough. Happens a lot up here in Miss., too.
