Cedric Benson, a running back who was a dominant force for the University of Texas before an eight-year career in the National Football League, died on Saturday. He was 36.

His friends and family told The Austin American-Statesman that he had been in a motorcycle crash.

The police responded to a crash in Austin, Tex., involving a motorcycle with a man and a woman on it and a minivan around 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, said Officer Marcos Johnson, a spokesman for the Austin Police Department.

The minivan was pulling away from a stop sign when the crash occurred and both vehicles caught fire, he said. The woman on the motorcycle died immediately. The man was conscious and alert when officers pulled him away but died moments later, Officer Johnson said.
