Donald R. Sellers, who spent most of training camp with the Las Vegas Outlaws but was placed on the XFL's exempt list after being indicted on sexual misconduct charges, was killed Sunday in an automobile accident near Wickenburg, Ariz.

Sellers, 26, apparently was returning to the Phoenix area from Las Vegas when the accident occurred on Arizona State Route 93.

Sellers lost control of his vehicle and went off the road, according to police reports. When he tried to correct, he crossed two southbound lanes into oncoming traffic.

His vehicle was hit by another car, split in half and rolled an unknown number of times, said Jill Volz of the Department of Public Safety. She said he was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.
