Junior Bradley Langston died in a one-car accident early Saturday morning
The Auburn student body is mourning the loss of 21-year-old Lakeland, Fla. native Bradley Langston, a junior in building science and member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
Auburn Assistant Police Chief Tommy Dawson said Langston was injured in a one-car accident on Shug Jordan Parkway in which his car veered off the road and he was ejected from his vehicle early Saturday morning.
Captain Tom Stofer of the Auburn Police Department said units were dispatched to the accident Saturday at 12:59 a.m.
"He had severe injuries as a result of the accident and was transported by Life Flight to Columbus Regional Medical Center where he succumbed to his injuries," Dawson said.
Dawson said the incident is still under investigation and there is no indication that alcohol was involved.
"My prayers go out to the Langston family," Chris Hart, spokesman for Beta Theta Pi, said. "He was a great guy, always smiling."
Alex Johns, a sophomore in marketing, said he has been roommates with Langston since last fall.
"I miss him," Johns said. "It's not the same without him around the house at all."
