Former Melbourne and Fremantle Dockers star Colin Sylvia has been killed in a car accident in Victoria.
The two-car crash happened near Mildura on Sunday.
Demons legend Garry Lyon confirmed the news on Monday.
“Colin Sylvia has tragically been killed in a car accident near Mildura, just out of Mildura last night,” Lyon told SEN.
“Colin was taken really early in the draft, I think pick number three, was a really talented footballer at the Melbourne footy club.
“Our condolences and sympathies are extended to Colin Sylvia and his family and friends.”
Sylvia, 32, moved home to Mildura to be closer with his family after retiring from the AFL in 2015.
