Davies, 23, was undergoing surgery on Tuesday afternoon and was reportedly in stable condition, according to U.S. Soccer spokesman Neil Buethe. The extent of Davies' injuries was not disclosed, but Buethe said they were not life-threatening.
Davies and two others were in the automobile when it smashed into a metal guardrail along the George Washington Memorial Parkway at approximately 3:15 a.m. ET on Tuesday, said U.S. Park Police spokesman David Schlosser.
It is not currently known whether Davies was the driver or a passenger in the car. There was no information released on whether or not alcohol was a factor in the crash.
Ashley J. Roberta, 22, of Phoenix, Md., was pronounced dead and the two others were taken to a local hospital with serious injuries, The Washington Post reported.
"The car was pretty much split in half," Schlosser said.
A native of Manchester, N.H., Davies went to high school at the Brooks School in North Andover, Mass., from where he graduated in 2004. He moved on to Boston College, where he was a standout for the Eagles for three seasons. He was a finalist for the Hermann Trophy in 2006 after scoring 15 goals and notching six assists in 16 games for BC.
The 5-foot-10 striker rose to prominence for the U.S. national squad after a breakout performance at the 2009 Confederations Cup in South Africa. Davies scored the opening goal for the Americans in their first-round matchup against Egypt, a game they ended up winning 3-0 to advance to the next round. The USA went on to upset Spain and Egypt to advance to its first ever men's FIFA tournament final. Davies has four goals in 17 international appearances and started Saturday when the U.S. topped Honduras 3-2 to secure its sixth straight trip to the World Cup. Davies was also a member of last year's U.S. Olympic team.
The U.S. national team was in Washington to play a World Cup qualifying match against Costa Rica on Wednesday.
"Obviously, as a team we were saddened to learn this news," U.S. coach Bob Bradley said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Charlie and his family, as well as the people in the car and the families of the others involved. As a team, we are relying on each other in a moment that has for sure hit us all hard."
