Oscar De La Hoya, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, issued a statement on Twitter:   

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."
