Cincinnati Bearcats freshman offensive lineman Ben Flick has died in a car accident on Saturday night.

Flick was riding in a car with two other passengers and one driver after a game against Miami-Ohio in Oxford, a short distance north of Cincinnati. The 2009 Chevrolet the group was riding was traveling west when it flipped off the road and turned turtle in front of a house. One of his companions -- Mark Barr, was a teammate of his, and was taken by helicopter to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, along with the car's driver, who was identified as Sean Van Dyne. Another teammate, Javon Harrison, is in stable condition and was discharged on Monday afternoon. Van Dyne and Flick were both ejected from their seats, and Barr and Harrison were trapped in the car.

Flick, however, was not so fortunate. He was declared dead on the spot due to injuries suffered from the accident.

All three players are serving freshman residency and did not travel to Oxford on the team bus.

"I can't put into words how tragic this is. As a father and a coach, it's something you hope you never have to go through," Bearcats coach Tommy Turberville told media. "Ben was so proud to be a part of this team and University. His future was bright. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Flick family on their loss. We also hope and pray for Mark and Javon to recover from their injuries."

Flick was a 6'6", 272-pound guard out of Hamilton, Ohio, and made his high school conference's second team as a senior. Barr is a wide receiver who helped St. Thomas Aquinas High School win a Florida state title in his senior year. Harrison was a receiver and quarterback in suburban Dayton and played spring football after enrolling at UC in January 2013. Van Dyne, 19, is a freshman at Miami University, which Cincinnati faced in Saturday's football game.

The Bearcats have a weekend off, which should help the team recover their bearings. But for the friends and family of those Flick and the others who were involved in the crash, it will take more than a season for them to heal emotionally.
