Patriots running back James White’s father, Tyrone, was killed in an automobile accident in South Florida Sunday, according to a report on Fox Sports 640 in South Florida.

White’s mother, Lisa, was also in the car and is in critical condition.

Tyrone White is a captain with the Miami-Dade Police Department.

White was informed of the accident and was inactive for Sunday night’s game against the Seahawks.

A Patriots captain and one of the most popular players on the team, White is one of the best receiving backs in the league.

Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and assistant coach Troy Brown huddled with running backs Sony Michel, Rex Burkhead, and J.J. Taylor in what appeared to be a very emotional moment.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had a message of support for White before the game, tweeting, “Praying for you bro.”

It’s been a tragic week for the Patriots family, with the death of coach Bill Belichick’s mother, Jeannette, last Monday and Belichick’s longtime girlfriend, Linda Holliday, losing her father, days later.
