Former Titans kicker Rob Bironas was pronounced dead at Vanderbilt Hospital after a late night crash in Nashville.

The 36-year-old was driving on Battery Lane when he lost control of his SUV, hit several trees and careened into a ravine.

The vehicle was upside down when Metro police arrived, according to spokesman Don Aaron.

Aaron said Bironas was traveling at a high rate of speed when the crash occurred.

Investigators do not believe drugs or alcohol were factors.

Bironas married Rachel Bradshaw, the daughter of NFL hall of famer Terry Bradshaw, in June.

A Metro police chaplain spoke with her shortly after the crash, according to Aaron.

Bironas spent nine years with the Titans, setting several NFL records along the way.

He was released from the team in March but continued to call the Nashville-area home.

The Titans could not immediately be reached for comment.
