UGA terminates employee who filed suit against them less than a month after filing.

Last month, Victoria Bowles, a survivor of the tragic crash that took the lives of University of Georgia offensive lineman Devin Willock and recruiter Chandler LeCroy, filed a lawsuit against the UGA Athletic Association. This week, UGA issued a statement saying Bowles had been fired due to her refusal to cooperate with the school's investigation into the crash.

The University of Georgia released a statement regarding their decision to terminate Bowles. They said, "Applicable policies require university employees to cooperate with internal investigations. Over the course of several months, Ms. Bowles was asked — on numerous occasions — to speak with our investigators and provide information, and through her attorney, she repeatedly refused to cooperate. As a result, we were ultimately left with no choice but to terminate her employment."

Rob Buck, the attorney representing Bowles in the lawsuit, released a statement of his own, accusing the university of engaging in a "campaign of intimidation" against Bowles. He said, “Tory, like all other perceived liabilities to the football program, became expendable to UGA, and despite her loyalty and meager salary, has been steamrolled.”

Bowles' lawsuit, which was filed in Gwinnett County the week of July 14, 2023, accuses the UGA Athletic Association of negligence. Specifically, Bowles claims that the Association was negligent in allowing LeCroy to drive the car while she was working, and that they were aware of her multiple traffic violations, including two "super speeder" violations under Georgia law.

The lawsuit also names recently drafted Philadelphia Eagles rookie Jalen Carter, who was driving the other vehicle when the accident occurred. Bowles accuses Carter of leaving the scene without speaking to law enforcement and failing to render aid.

Overall, Victoria Bowles' lawsuit against both the University of Georgia and Jalen Carter represents a tragic situation in which two lives were lost. We can only hope that the truth of the accident comes to light, and the families of Devin Willock and Chandler LeCroy receive the justice they deserve.
