LONG ISLAND, N.Y. — A professional wrestler was killed in a violent head-on collision on the Bethpage State Parkway early Friday morning, just months after making a return to the ring.

Jordan Nasir St. Fort Colin, who wrestled under the name “JNS,” was driving his 2012 Nissan Altima when a Hyundai traveling in the opposite direction crossed into his lane and struck his vehicle head-on, according to New York State Police.

The impact was so severe that Colin, 25, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Hyundai was seriously injured and transported to a local hospital for treatment.

The crash occurred around 6 a.m. on the parkway in Bethpage. Both vehicles sustained heavy damage, and the roadway was shut down for several hours as investigators worked the scene.

Friends and fellow wrestlers described Colin as a rising talent in the independent wrestling scene who had recently returned to competition after a period away from the ring. Photos and videos circulating online show the muscular athlete posing confidently and performing in the squared circle.

The New York State Police are continuing their investigation into the cause of the crash, including whether speed, distraction, or impairment played a role. No charges have been announced at this time.

This tragic loss has sent shockwaves through the Northeast wrestling community, where Colin was known for his athleticism, charisma, and dedication to the sport.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and fans during this difficult time.
