UGA says car in fatal crash was rented, driver using it during unauthorized hours
The school said that personal use of the vehicle was "strictly prohibited."In a new statement released by the University of Georgia Athletic Association, the school acknowledged that the car involved in the crash that killed football player Devin Willock and Chandler LeCroy was not authorized to be in use by the recruiting staff member at the time of the crash.
According to the school, the car driven the night of the crash -- a 2021 Ford Expedition -- was one that the athletic department leased and was available to be used by staff members during "recruiting activities only." The school said that personal use of the vehicle was "strictly prohibited."
In the new statement, the school went on to say that due to specific guidelines that ban staff members from using the rental cars outside of athletic department activities, "the continued use of the leased car by our staff members after their recruiting duties ended earlier that evening was unauthorized."
"Policies and expectations that were well understood by athletics staff dictated that such rental vehicles were to be turned in at the immediate conclusion of recruiting duties," the school said in a statement released to 11Alive on Friday.
UGA has already said that LeCroy was not working in an official capacity at the time of the crash.
