Vienna resident Dion Bagby, newly named to the Baltimore Ravens coed cheerleading squad, was killed Friday in a motorcycle crash in Frederick, MD.
Bagby, 27, was driving his motorcycle Friday morning to Camp Woodward in Pennsylvania when he collided with a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta that was turning left from U.S. 15 south onto Monocacy Boulevard, according to The Frederick News-Post.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A cheerleading coach for Infinity All Stars, Bagby was on a trip Friday to visit some of his athletes when he crashed, the paper reported.
He would have started his first season as an NFL cheerleader in the fall.
"He was definitely really excited about that, especially since we were coming off the Super Bowl season," said Paul Vutiprichar, a friend of Bagby's who also cheers for the Ravens' co-ed squad, told the paper. "He was definitely getting to be a lot closer with the Ravens family."
"This is such sad news and the entire Ravens family is in mourning," Kevin Byrne, a representative for the Ravens, said in a statement.
The driver of the Volkswagen, Amy Sue Harrison, of Thurmont, was not seriously injured. No charges were filed Saturday. The crash was under investigation, police said.
"He was very excited to be involved with the Ravens," Infinity owner Brad Palmer told the paper. "He told us about all the things he'd been able to do and was looking forward to this year."
Infinity canceled all scheduled practices Saturday and invited members to come to the gym to remember Dion, The Baltimore Sun reported. They signed cards that will be sent to Bagby's mother in Oklahoma.
