The 24-year-old second-round pick out of Tennessee in the 2000 NFL draft posted a $50,000 bond Wednesday morning after turning himself in late Tuesday night, about 17-hours after the accident.

Two other people were injured in the accident that occured on Interstate 35-E in northwest Dallas.

Police said the accident happened when a car clipped an 18-wheeler and caught fire early yesterday.

Investigators say that as a rescue attempt began, Goodrich came speeding through the scene in a grey BMW at an estimated 110 miles per hour. Officers said Goodrich tried to swerve between the disabled vehicles and hit several people, two of whom were killed.

The dead, pictured left, are identified as 21-year-old Joseph Wood (left) and 23-year-old Demont Matthews (right).

Goodrich was the Dallas Cowboys' top pick in the 2000 NFL draft. At Tennessee, Goodrich was the defensive, most-valuable-player of the 1999 Fiesta Bowl.

His professional career has been plagued with injuries. He strained his hamstring during the 2000 preseason after tearing his achilles tendon during training camp.

Last season, Goodrich played in 11 games, including his only NFL start in December against Philadelphia.

Goodrich just completed the final year of his contract with the Cowboys.
