  PHOENIX -- The San Diego Padres player killed Friday when the vehicle he was riding in rolled over was outfielder Mike Darr, according to the San Diego Tribune.

Another member of the organization was injured in the crash.
According to the Tribune, Frank Valenzuela of the Arizona Department of Public Safety said it appeared the accident was alcohol-related.

Another man inside the sports utility vehicle also was killed in the 2 a.m. MST accident, but authorities said they did not believe he was a Padres player.

The Padres hold spring training in nearby Peoria.

The vehicle apparently drifted into the dirt center median, then the driver overcorrected, Valenzuela said. The vehicle rolled across all three westbound lanes of the freeway and crashed through a fence, coming to rest on a frontage road.
Valenzuela said the driver and front-seat passenger were not wearing seatbelts and were ejected and killed.

The injured man was in the back seat and was wearing a seat belt and was treated and released at the scene, Valenzuela said.
