Fran McCaffery, wife release statement following son Jack’s involvement in fatal car crash

Iowa men’s basketball head coach Fran McCaffery and his wife, Margaret, have released their statement after their son was involved in a fatal car crash. Jack McCaffery was driving home from school when hitting a pedestrian out for a jog in late May. Two weeks later, a name named Corey Hite passes away.

According to the statement, there is “no evidence” of Jack McCaffery driving while distracted and it has been called an “unavoidable accident.”

“On May 22nd, just after leaving school, our 16-year-old son was the driver in a vehicle/pedestrian accident,” Fran and Margaret said. “Investigators have told us that it was an unavoidable accident with no evidence of distracted driving. The pedestrian, who was jogging at the time of the accident, was waved in front of our son’s passing vehicle by the driver of another vehicle. The jogger, Sgt. First Class Corey Hite, passes away two weeks after the accident from the injuries he sustained.

“We are devastated by this tragedy. SFC Hite’s family has our deepest sympathies. While our family continues to process the events of the past weeks and help our son cope with this accident, we will have no further comment at this time.”
