Was there confirmation that he was served or had some level of blood alchohol? It is an 18 and up entry, 21 to drink club so he and they would have been fine unless he was drinking.
Also if he was drinking it wasn’t related to the accident and wouldn’t be a focus of the investigation. He could be in the club legally. The real question is whether the driver was drinking but unless she was over served that’s not on the club.
Also Athens police have given UGA players trouble over the years although it’s been better under Kirby. It’s not Knoxville or Auburn.
The deceased player (Devin Willock) wasn't driving. Jalen Carter (the surviving player) was racing UGA recruiting staffer Chandler LeCroy (the other fatality). LeCroy was intoxicated at the time of her death, and Willock was one of her passengers. Jalen Carter left the scene, and later pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor.
Two lawsuits have been filed, one by Willock's father (against the UGA Athletic Association, Jalen Carter and Toppers). The other suit was filed by LeCroy's surviving passenger. She is suing LeCroy's estate, Jalen Carter, and the UGA Athletic Association -- but not Toppers. UGA claims "the proximate cause of the crash was street racing and extreme speed," not LeCroy's drinking (as boomer79 wrote).
