Police: ‘Speed a factor’ in fatal crash involving Georgia football players, staff

ATHENS, Ga. — Athens Clarke-County Police released its crash report on the fatal accident that took the lives of two members of the Georgia football team and injured two others. Some questions were answered therein, but many more were not.

Devin Willock, a redshirt sophomore offensive lineman from Paramus, N.J., was riding in the driver’s-side backseat of a 2021 Ford Expedition when it struck a curb and left Barnett Shoals Road early Sunday morning, the report said. He was ejected from the vehicle as it broke two utility poles in half and collided with several trees before coming to rest against an apartment building, according to police. Willock died at the scene.

The driver, Chandler Louise LeCroy of Toccoa and a member of the recruiting staff, had to be extricated from the vehicle. She was transported to Piedmont Athens Regional Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
