COLLEGE FOOTBALL

FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- A University of Wyoming football player was killed and three teammates were injured when a pickup drifted off a Colorado highway and crashed on Monday, authorities said.

Ruben Narcisse, 19, of Miami was killed, the Colorado State Patrol said.

Trey Fox, 19, of Glenwood Springs, Colo., Christian Morgan, 18, of Aurora, Colo., and J.J. Quinlan, 19, of Everett, Wash., were injured and were taken to hospitals in Laramie, Wyo., and Loveland, Colo.

Morgan's injuries were serious but were not believed to be life-threatening, troopers said. Fox had moderate injuries.

The nature and extent of Quinlan's injuries weren't known.

Fox was driving and apparently fell asleep, investigators said. They said alcohol and drugs aren't believed to be factors.

The pickup was northbound on U.S. 287 six miles south of the Wyoming border at about 5:30 a.m. when it went off the left side of the highway, struck a rock embankment and a tree and then rolled.
