Savaii Seau, brother of Los Angeles Chargers legend Junior, dies after crash with dump-truck while not wearing seatbelt

THE BROTHER of late Los Angeles Chargers legend Junior Seau has died following a car accident.

Savaii Seau, 56, was driving a 2005 Audi A6 when it crashed head-on with a dump truck on Tuesday afternoon.

Savaii was rushed to hospital with serious injuries and was pronounced dead a short time later.

A medical examiner confirmed that it was Savaii on Wednesday morning.

A 42-year-old woman was also inside of the Audi, but suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The dump-truck driver, a 60-year-old man, had the same wounds.

Savaii did not appear to be wearing a seatbelt, California Highway Patrol claimed, while his passenger and the truck driver were. It is not yet known if alcohol or drugs were a factor.

Seau was a PE teacher at a local school and was an active Chargers fan.

His brother, Former San Diego Chargers linebacker Junior Seau, was found dead at his home in Southern California from a gunshot wound to the chest in an apparent suicide.

A young woman who identified herself as Seau’s girlfriend alerted police to the death, saying she had found him wounded and unconscious in his beachfront home just north of San Diego.

Medical experts later found that the player had suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, also known as brain disease CTE.

Seau, a 10-time All-Pro and 12-time Pro Bowl selection, was posthumously elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2015.

The Seau family has since created The Mary Seau CTE Foundation, to bring awareness and funding for the injury.

Savaii was pictured on August 15 participating in a fundraiser for the foundation.
