Georgia SUV in deadly crash was for recruiting, not personal use

University of Georgia athletic department officials say the vehicle involved in a crash that killed a football player and employee on Jan. 15 was to be used only for recruiting activities, not personal use.

The University of Georgia athletic association provided that information in a statement to The Associated Press on Saturday, saying personal use of the SUV was "strictly prohibited."

Georgia offensive lineman Devin Willock and Chandler LeCroy, a 24-year-old who worked in the recruiting department and was driving the SUV, were killed in the early-morning accident that happened hours following a parade and celebration of the Bulldogs' second consecutive national championship.
