At the time of the crash, Willock was the passenger in the SUV. The vehicle crashed in Athens around 2:45 a.m. local time, police said. Moments before the crash, the car was traveling outside the lane of the road when it left the roadway and reportedly hit two power poles and several trees. 

While Willock was dead at the scene, LeCroy, who was the driver, was transported to the hospital where she later died.
