A Dallas Cowboys bus was involved in a fatal accident in northwest Arizona on Sunday, the team has confirmed.
All four team employees on the bus were unharmed, but four people in another vehicle died, according to Las Vegas media reports.
The crash occurred on U.S. 93, about 28 miles north of Kingman, Ariz. The bus was headed to Las Vegas for a meet-and-greet at GameWorks and then onto the Cowboys’ training camp headquarters in Oxnard, Calif.
The accident is not believed to be the Cowboys’ driver’s fault.
The team staff members on board were Cowboys writer Mickey Spagnola, team mascot Rowdy, videographer Jason Walraven and the bus driver, Emory Tyler. Spagnola has been documenting the annual bus tour on the Cowboys’website.
Arizona troopers were expected to release a statement later Sunday.
Waukesha, Wis.
Waukesha County Sheriff’s Lt. Thom Moerman said speed was likely a factor in the single-vehicle crash that happened around 11:45 p.m. Saturday.
The 24-year-old Sadler, of Grand Rapids, Mich., was driving. He and 22-year-old Foltz, of Greeley, Neb., both died. LSU kicker, 21-year-old Colby Delahoussaye, was also a passenger and was injured in the crash.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln said Sunday the team will skip this week’s planned Big Ten media days in Chicago because of Foltz’s death.
Officials with Michigan State didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Foltz was a three-year starter for the Nebraska team and last year he was named the Big Ten’s punter of the year. Foltz graduated from Nebraska with a degree in agronomy in May.
Nebraska coach Mike Riley said Foltz was respected on the team, and had a positive influence on everyone he interacted with. Foltz’ friends gathered outside the stadium in Lincoln Sunday afternoon for a prayer vigil.
Sadler was a four-year starter and four-time academic All-American at Michigan State. He finished his college playing career after the 2014 season.
Dan Tracy with Kohl’s Kicking said both Sadler and Foltz had been coaching at a weekend clinic in Wisconsin.

Monfils, a Frenchman seeded No. 2, prevented the 37-year-old Karlovic from becoming the oldest man since 1973 to win ATP singles tournaments in consecutive weeks.
And Monfils did it by figuring out a way to neutralize the big serve of the 6-foot-11 Karlovic when it mattered most.
The 13th-seeded Croatian had won all 53 of his service games in the tournament until getting broken while serving for the championship at 5-4 in the second set.
Stanford, Calif.
Her serve and return games equally solid, Konta held on in the third set after squandering a 4-1 lead in the second. When Williams netted her forehand return on the third match point, Konta dropped her racket to the ground and covered her face in triumph.
No. 3 seed Konta figured out Williams’ big serve for the second time this year, standing some 10 feet behind the baseline to return it and generating pace from Williams’ regular serves of well more than 100 mph.
The 25-year-old Konta also stunned Williams with the straight-set victory in the first round at this year’s Australian Open.
She became the fourth-oldest first-time titlist this year.
