President Donald Trump offered his condolences to the family of Edwin Jackson on Tuesday following the former Indianapolis Colts linebacker's death Sunday.

Trump wrote the following regarding Jackson:

According to the Indiana State Police Department (h/t ESPN.com's Mike Wells), Jackson and Jeffery Monroe were killed early Sunday morning after they were struck by a vehicle being driven by a man suspected of drunken driving on Interstate 70 in Indianapolis.

Per Wells, Monroe was believed to be a ride-sharing operator who pulled over to the side of the road before getting out to tend to an ill Jackson.
