There is a new report on the crash that killed Devin Willock. According to the report, 15 minutes before the crash, Devin and some of his teammates were seen exiting an Athens strip club.
Our thoughts and prayers are still with his family and loved ones.
And according to the New York Post;
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution identified Willock and his teammate Warren McClendon, among other players, in video footage that shows the group leaving Toppers International Showbar around 2:30 a.m on Jan. 15 — which came hours after Georgia celebrated back-to-back national championships following their historic victory over TCU. The outlet reported that the players “were accompanied by two women who strongly resemble the UGA employees involved in the fatal crash.”
The group reportedly exited the strip club 30 minutes after it closed, before getting into a black 2021 Ford Expedition with LeCroy behind the wheel. The footage shows the vehicle traveling through a nearby intersection around 2:40 a.m.
Police responded to the crash at 2:45 a.m., about 2.5 miles away from Toppers, where the speeding SUV carrying the group hit a curb on the passenger’s side and crashed into two power poles.
A toxicology report on LeCroy is pending.
When asked if the UGA staffers violated school rules by accompanying the players to the strip club preceding the incident, UGA said in a statement: “Our primary focus remains on providing comfort and support to the families and friends of Devin, Chandler, and the two others who were injured, as well as everyone impacted by this tragedy.
“Out of respect for the individuals and their families, we will not comment further at this time on the accident or the ongoing investigation.”
Willock, 20, was pronounced dead at the scene, and 24-year-old LeCroy died from her injuries at Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center.
According to the crash report, police said LeCroy was trapped behind the wheel and had to be freed from the vehicle. Police said Willock, who was sitting behind the driver’s seat, was not wearing his seatbelt and thrown from the vehicle.
Recruiting staff member Victoria Bowles, 26, who was not wearing a seatbelt in the right rear passenger seat, suffered serious injuries in the crash. McClendon, 21, who was seated in the front passenger seat, was treated for minor injuries at the Athens hospital and released.
