Potential No. 1 NFL draft pick Jalen Carter charged in connection with fatal car crash

Jalen Carter, the possible No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, was involved in a car crash in January that killed one of his teammates and a team support staffer, according to police.

Carter, 21, was racing through the streets of Athens, Ga., alongside a car driven by recruiting coordinator Chandler LeCroy that also carried Georgia teammate Devin Willock, Athens police said.

LeCroy was driving 104 mph shortly before she struck a curb and her vehicle went airborne. LeCroy and Willock were killed in the crash, and two passengers were injured. According to police, Carter drove away from the scene.
