Former NFL linebacker Thomas Howard died early Monday morning following a ferocious high-speed car crash on a freeway in Oakland that disintegrated both vehicles involved.

The Alameda County Coroner's office said the 30-year-old Howard was one of two men who died in the crash Monday. The driver of the other car, 64-year-old Zeng Long Liu of Hayward, also died in the crash.

Howard was driving a speeding BMW when he hit a big rig, flipped over the center divider and went head-on into a Honda traveling on the other side around 1 a.m., said Officer Daniel Hill, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol.

Witnesses say the car was traveling at speeds between 100 mph to 110 mph as the car overturned, crossed a median and ended up in the southbound lanes of the freeway, where it sideswiped another car before landing on top of the Honda before bursting out into flames, Hill said.

Hill said that alcohol is not being ruled out as a possible cause of the accident.

'If there was any sort of physical evidence of alcohol involvement, we didn't see it at the scene,' Hill said. 'The vehicle was so mangled the officers couldn't even get close.'

'The damage was spectacular in a horrible way,' Hill said. 'At the speed he was traveling, he never would have been able to react in time to avoid a collision. We can say with relative certainty that speed was the cause of this collision.'
