Per the Austin-Travis County EMS (h/t Howie Kussoy of the New York Post), three people were involved in the accident, with one pronounced "deceased on scene," a second suffering "serious potentially life-threatening injuries," and a third airlifted from the scene with "critical life-threatening injuries."

Mazion turned pro in April 2013, three months before his 18th birthday. The Texas native went 17-0 in his career with 13 knockouts.

His final fight was a 58-second knockout victory over Fernando Castaneda on Jan. 11 at the Alamodome to win the WBC-NABF super welterweight title.
