I-Team: Bay Area football star dies after crashing into controversial guardrail system

After repeated incidents like this one and lawsuits filed against the company, 39 states have now banned the ET-Plus, but not California.
A 24-year-old Bay Area football star is killed in a violent crash and experts say he could have survived it if it hadn't been for the guard rail he struck. Darryl Blackmon died after an accident Saturday morning in Marin County. The type of guard rail he slammed into has been blamed for deaths and injuries across the country. Law enforcement officers are waiting for the results of a toxicology screen. Blackmon may have been returning home from work as a bouncer at a San Francisco bar, when his car crashed in Mill Valley 4:30 Saturday morning.Blackmon was 6'7" tall, he excelled on the Berkeley High football team, played at Kansas State and tried out for the 49ers in April. After an injury, he hoped to try again next year. He volunteered coaching Berkeley children.
