Police said a motorcycle was southbound on Vine when a sport utility vehicle going west on Forest turned north on Vine, then left across the southbound lanes into a parking lot in the path of the motorcycle.
This is the second Cincinnati player to be killed in a car accident in almost exactly a year, as offensive lineman Ben Flick died in an accident last September. Some of Chamoda's teammates remarked on his passing and sent their condolences to his family on Twitter.
UC Lost a brother and Teammate last year. Another teammate goes way too soon. Please keep him and his family in your prayers ... RIP Chamoda
