He was ejected, so likely not.Hadn't kept up. Were they not wearing seat belts?

I don’t think many get ejected if they’re wearing one. Seems like the bad choices are adding up in this case.
Like a plane crash, a series of small errors combined with poor judgement lead to a catastrophic event.
Report Released in Fatal Georgia Football Crash
Speed was a factor in Sunday crash that killed Devin Willock, driver Chandler LeCroy
www.newser.com
University of Georgia football recruiting analyst Chandler LeCroy was speeding when her SUV ran off the road and crashed early Sunday, killing LeCroy and player Devin Willock, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt. LeCroy's Ford Expedition "failed to negotiate a left curve, resulting in the vehicle striking a curb with its front passenger tire and leaving the roadway" around 2:45am following a celebration of the team's second straight national championship, according to a crash report released Tuesday, per CNN. The vehicle struck two utility poles, "cutting them in half," then "struck a tree with its rear passenger quarter panel," rotated clockwise, and "struck another tree with its driver's side," the report adds.
The 20-year-old Willock, seated behind LeCroy, wasn't wearing a seatbelt and was ejected as the vehicle came to rest against the corner of an apartment building in Athens, the report says. Victoria Bowles, a 26-year-old passenger seated beside Willock, also wasn't wearing a seatbelt, according to the report. She suffered multiple serious injuries. Bulldogs offensive lineman Warren McClendon, 21, who suffered only a minor head laceration, was belted in the front passenger seat, as was LeCroy, per the AP. The report doesn't indicate the precise speed of the vehicle, but notes it was over the 40mph limit. It adds 24-year-old LeCroy's condition at the time of the crash is unknown; no alcohol or drug test was performed. (Read more Georgia Bulldogs stories.)
I know a Ford expedition is a heavy vehicle but utility poles are STOUT. If you snap 2 of them, you were hauling the mail. Why oh why.
Would it be standard procedure to do an alcohol and drug test with a passenger fatality?
I believe in most accidents where a fatality results, toxicology is a standard procedure.
If I were the family of the deceased player, I would demand that the tests be run.
Who are they going to charge? The driver is deceased.
At this point I'm just amazed anyone survived.

I would still want to know, and it is also possible that the university could be held responsible.Who are they going to charge? The driver is deceased.

That's a heck of a lot faster than 40mph...Who are they going to charge? The driver is deceased.

Especially if she was acting in any capacity for the university, like the report they were on their way to meet other coaches and players at Waffle House.
Even if there isn’t any issues with impairment, since an employee of the university was at the wheel, it would need to be determined 1) was the individual driving a personal vehicle or a staff vehicle and 2) was the person driving acting in conjunction with duties and responsibilities of employee’s role with the university? If the employee was operating a university vehicle in a negligent manner in what would be a university function, it could be a messy situation for the university, liability wise.
A tremendously sad situation regardless of any of this.
As sure as the sun comes up, you can bet there will be lawsuits.
The blood test results are going to be interesting as well, whenever they get released......

This is my thinking as well. I'm sure APD isn't going to release anything. It will come out in lawsuits.
We’ve had 2 teaching situations for young people the last few days. I hope those of y’all with tweens/teens will use these as cautionary tales to potentially curb behavior.
Every position I’ve ever had where I was operating a company car/vehicle, we always had that legal “lecture” on operation of the vehicle in conjunction with job responsibilities in a safe manner. In other words.”get a DUI, you’re done here. Get speeding or reckless driving or exceed the allowable “points” you will go to driving school. Do it again, you’re done. Lose your license, you can’t perform your role and you’re toast”.
At my previous job I took off my seat belt driving through a parking lot where I was going to have to get out and check in at a security check point and within an hour my supervisor was calling and asked why was I driving without a seat belt. Companies take these things very serious and rightly so.
