University of Georgia star Jalen Carter, seen as a top NFL Draft pick, is facing charges in connection with a crash that killed a teammate and staffer
Authorities believe alcohol played a part in the January 15 crash, which came just hours after the Georgia Bulldogs celebrated its second consecutive national championship in a parade through campus. Toxicology results show LeCroy, who was driving a university vehicle not authorized for use at the time of the crash, had a blood alcohol concentration of .197 at the time of the crash – more than twice the legal limit in Georgia, police said.
“The evidence demonstrated that both vehicles switched between lanes, drove in the center turn lane, drove in opposite lanes of travel, overtook other motorists, and drove at high rates of speed, in an apparent attempt to outdistance each other.” The vehicle LeCroy was driving was traveling “at about 104 miles per hour” prior to the crash, authorities said. Willock was ejected from the vehicle and died on the scene. LeCroy died after being taken to a hospital.
