ATLANTA -- Atlanta Thrashers center Dan Snyder dies Sunday, six days after he was involved in a horrific car crash with teammate Dany Heatley.
Snyder died at Grady Hospital from massive brain injuries without ever regaining consciousness, the team said.
Police said Heatley was driving his Ferrari at about 80 mph on a narrow two-lane road last Monday night when he lost control, spun off the road and smashed into a brick and wrought iron fence.
The car split in half. The players were thrown into the road.
Heatley already was facing several charges, including a felony -- and prosecutors are likely to upgrade the seriousness of the charges with Snyder's death.
