Greensboro, NC – College football player Kelvin Level Broadhurst Jr. was killed in a motorcycle crash on Interstate 40 East at approximately 4:57 p.m. Saturday.
Broadhurst, 20, was riding a Ducati motorcycle when he lost control on a ramp and struck a guardrail, leading to his ejection from the bike. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to authorities.
Emergency responders from the Greensboro Fire Department and Guilford County EMS were dispatched, but medical aid could not save him. The incident has prompted an investigation by the North Carolina State Highway Patrol.
The crash resulted in lane closures as crews worked to clear the area. No other vehicles were involved in the accident.
Broadhurst was a defensive lineman for North Carolina A&T State University, where he appeared in 28 games. He was nearing the completion of his junior year and was known for his sportsmanship and dedication to the team.
His mother, Latoya Robinson-Lyles, expressed her heartbreak, stating she had been planning for his 21st birthday just weeks away. “It seems unreal because now I’m having to plan his funeral,” she remarked in a heartfelt tribute.
Broadhurst’s legacy includes 13 tackles and 1.5 sacks during his collegiate career.
