ATHENS, Ga. -- The University of Georgia has fired the football recruiting staffer who survived a January crash that killed player Devin Willock and another recruiting staffer, less than a month after she filed a lawsuit against the university's athletic association.
The school issued a statement saying Victoria "Tori" Bowles was dismissed because she refused to cooperate with an internal investigation into the crash. Her attorneys claim she is being retaliated against for filing the lawsuit, which also names former Georgia player and first-round NFL draft pick Jalen Carter.
The Jan. 15 crash, which occurred just hours after a parade celebrating Georgia's second straight national championship, killed Willock and the driver of the Ford Expedition, Chandler LeCroy.
