Former Seahawks quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, whose toughness as a starter to play through injury in 2011 and willingness to adapt to a backup role when the team won the Super Bowl in the 2013 season endeared him to teammates and coaches alike, has died in a car accident at age 36.

Jackson played four seasons in two stints with Seattle as part of a 10-year NFL career. He was killed in a single-vehicle crash at 8:50 p.m. Sunday roughly 7 miles from his native Montgomery, Ala., according to a news release from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.

The release said Jackson was driving a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro that left the roadway, struck a tree and overturned. Jackson was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.An ALEA spokesman said via email no further details were available as state troopers continue to investigate the accident.
