DALLAS -- Former NFL defensive back Kelvin Joseph is facing charges for his involvement in a crash that killed a female motorcyclist on a Dallas-area freeway, The Dallas Morning News reported Saturday.

Police in the Dallas suburb of Richardson said on social media that Joseph, who has been playing in the United Football League this spring, called police in Plano, another Dallas suburb, to report his involvement in the predawn crash Saturday.

The 25-year-old Joseph, who was driving a BMW, was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor, and collision involving personal injury or death, a second-degree felony.

Police said 27-year-old Cody Morris of Plano was killed in the crash.

The cornerback has been playing for the DC Defenders, who are set to compete in a UFL conference championship game Sunday. The UFL said in a statement sent to Dallas TV station WFAA it was aware of Joseph's arrest but declined further comment.

During the 2022 offseason with the Dallas Cowboys, Joseph was the passenger in an SUV from which two people fired shots into a group of men in Dallas, fatally striking one of the men in the head. Police concluded Joseph wasn't the shooter, and the NFL didn't suspend him.

An attorney who previously represented Joseph didn't return a phone call from The Dallas Morning News. It wasn't immediately clear whether Joseph had an attorney following his arrest Saturday.

Joseph was drafted by the Cowboys in 2021 and spent two seasons in Dallas before he was traded to the Miami Dolphins. He also played briefly for the Seattle Seahawks and the Indianapolis Colts.
