An Uzbek commercial truck driver admitted to the United States via a diversity lottery killed a star college soccer goalie in Ohio over the weekend and had to use Google Translate to speak with state troopers who arrived at the deadly scene, sources told Fox News.
Bekhzod Asrarov, 42, rammed the back of a vehicle on Interstate 71 in Madison County, resulting in the death of Tobias “Toby” Forsythe, 21, who played goalkeeper for the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, Fox is told.
When Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers arrived at the scene, Asrarov, who holds a commercial driver’s license (CDL) from Ohio, tried ripping off the dash camera and tried to destroy it by smashing it, sources said.
He also tried to smash and destroy his three phones and his logging device, Fox is told.

Asrarov entered the United States during the Biden administration in 2024 via the diversity visa lottery program.

Forsythe, an economics major, joined the UMass Lowell River Hawks in 2026 after playing for Ashland University for two seasons and Shawnee State, where he started all 17 games in 2025, the university said in a news release announcing his death.
“Our entire athletics department is heartbroken by Toby’s passing,” said UMass Lowell athletic director Lynn Coutts. “Although Toby’s time as a River Hawk was cut far too short, he left a meaningful impact and will always be remembered as a cherished member of our UMass Lowell family.”
UMass Lowell head coach Kyle Zenoni said Forsythe showed up to the pitch every day to compete and improve as a player.
“He never looked for shortcuts and never expected anything to be given to him – he simply wanted the opportunity to earn it,” Zenoni said. “Our hearts are with Toby’s family, friends, teammates and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. We will forever be grateful that Toby was part of our River Hawk family and we will honor his memory by carrying forward the example he set.”
