In the MLB - P Jose Fernandez and RF Roberto Clemente both died in vehicular accidents during or just after their prime. Clemente made the Hall of Fame posthumously.

In the NFL - WR Chris Henry died in his prime after he fell out of a moving vehicle.

In the NBA - Center Jason Collier died in a prime season from the effects of a heart condition.
