Lawsuit Alleges Negligence in Fatal Crash Involving UGA Football Players

  • A lawsuit claims the University of Georgia Athletic Association was negligent in allowing a staffer to drive after drinking and led to a crash that killed two people.
  • The crash involved former UGA players Jalen Carter and Devin Willock, who died along with UGA staffer Chandler LeCroy.
  • Willock's father filed a $40 million lawsuit against the athletic association, Carter, LeCroy's estate, and others.
  • Carter pleaded no contest to reckless driving and racing charges related to the crash and was sentenced to probation and community service.
  • Documents show Carter was driving with a suspended license at the time of the crash, though he was not charged for it.
