Andrea Mercedes Palacios, the girlfriend of Jeff Gladney, has been identified as the woman who died alongside the Arizona Cardinals defensive back in a car accident Monday morning.
Palacios has been identified by both her family and the Dallas County police.
“She was just a loving, selfless person,” Palacios’ brother, John Paul Figueroa, told NBC Dallas Fort-Worth. “Just outgoing. I know she loved Jeff because they were always together.”
Gladney and Palacios died early Monday morning after a two-car accident on the Woodall Rodgers Freeway in Dallas.
Police said that a white vehicle — containing Gladney and Palacios — sped and clipped a car from behind. Subsequently, the white vehicle lost control and hit a freeway pier beam.
It is not clear which of the two was driving.
Passengers in the second car were not seriously injured.
