In a heartbreaking turn of events, the sporting community has been left in mourning following a devastating car accident that claimed the lives of three young children late Sunday evening.

Former Riverside Falcons star midfielder Daniel Hayes and his wife, Olivia Hayes, confirmed the tragic news in a brief and emotional statement released early Monday morning.

“It is with unbearable sadness that we share the loss of our beautiful children,” the statement read. “Our hearts are shattered beyond words.”

According to preliminary reports, the accident occurred on a rain-soaked highway as the family was traveling home from a weekend visit with relatives. Emergency responders arrived swiftly, but despite their efforts, the three children could not be saved.

Riverside Stadium became a place of sorrow as fans gathered outside the gates, leaving flowers, candles, handwritten notes, and team scarves in tribute. Many supporters described the loss as “unimaginable” and “deeply heartbreaking.”

The Falcons Football Club released a statement expressing their solidarity:

“Our entire club stands with Daniel and Olivia during this tragic time. We ask for privacy and compassion as they navigate this devastating loss.”

Counseling services have been made available for teammates and club staff, with community leaders urging everyone to support one another.

The tragedy has also sparked renewed conversations about road safety, particularly during severe weather conditions. Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the crash.

For now, the stadium lights dimmed in silent tribute serve as a solemn reminder of how fragile life can be — and how a community can come together in grief.
