On Thursday Washington Football Team safety Deshazor Everett spoke publicly through a tweet for the first time since the fatal car crash that took the life of girlfriend Olivia S. Peters.
Friday, details of the frantic 9-1-1 call moments after the single-car crash were revealed.
According to TMZ, a bystander frantically told an operator, “The car is trapped. It’s trapped in the trees!”
The caller said he “just saw a car flip over” and go “into thick woods.”
Another man took the phone from the caller urging the dispatcher “Please hurry” repeatedly. The man also tried to explain that the woman in the car needed help ASAP.

The accident occurred on the evening of Dec. 23. According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, Everett’s 2010 Nissan GT-R left the right side of the roadway, struck several trees and rolled over.
Everett sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries. Washington placed him on the Everett on the reserve/non-football injury list, effectively ending his season.
Two Washington rookies, linebacker Jamin Davis and cornerback Benjamin St-Juste, were on the scene of the crash, as they traveled in a car in front of them. The group was out at dinner that evening.
Everett’s attorney Kaveh Noorsihad recently released a statement saying Everett continues to cooperate with local police and the NFL investigations into the accident.
“At this time we ask that you respect the privacy of the individuals and families involved and reserve judgement until all of the facts are gathered,” Noorishad said.
Peters was 29 years of age.
Everett has played seven seasons with Washington. He’s played in 89 games, including 17 starts. He’s been a captain and key cog on special teams throughout his time with Washington.
