Chandler LeCroy, UGA Crash Victim, Laid to Rest in Toccoa

Funeral services were held Wednesday in Toccoa, for one of the victims in the car crash Sunday in Athens that killed a UGA football player and UGA recruiter and injured two others.

Services for 24-year-old Chandler LeCroy were held Wednesday afternoon at First Baptist Church in Toccoa.

According to the police incident report obtained by the Associated Press, LeCroy and 20-year-old Devin Willock were killed when the SUV LeCroy was driving failed to negotiate a curve, went off the road and struck a power pole and another utility pole, slicing them in half, before striking a tree on the rear passenger quarter panel.

The impact sent the vehicle spinning in a clockwise direction before it slammed into another tree on the driver’s side — where both LeCroy and Willock were sitting, and came to a final rest against an apartment building.

20-year-old Willock, an offensive lineman for the Bulldogs, was pronounced dead at the scene. The report said Willock was not wearing a seat belt when he was ejected from the vehicle.

LeCroy, who was wearing a seatbelt, died from her injuries shortly after being taken to Piedmont Hospital in Athens.

The two other people in the car, offensive lineman Warren McClendon, was wearing a shoulder and lap restraint while seated in the right front passenger seat, according to Athens police.

He sustained only minor injuries, which the report from Athens-Clarke County police described as a laceration in the middle of his head.

Another member of the Georgia football staff, Victoria Bowles, was hospitalized with multiple, serious injuries. She was sitting in the backseat with Willock and not wearing a seat belt.

The incident report said no alcohol or drug test was conducted on LeCroy, though the investigation was continuing.

Investigators did not give an estimated speed, nor did they know the driver’s condition at the time of the crash.
