Both driver and former Auburn TE Philip Lutzenkirchen were legally drunk at time of fatal car crash
Joseph Ian Davis and former Auburn TE Philip Lutzenkirchen were legally drunk when they were involved in a car crash that killed them both on June 30.
According to toxicology reports published by AL.com, Davis, the driver, had a 0.17 blood alcohol content at the time of the crash, which happened in Georgia. The state limit is 0.08. Lutzenkirchen, who was in the back seat of the car, had a blood alcohol content of 0.377.
After investigating the crash, police had believed alcohol was a factor. It happened after 3 a.m. on June 30 and the car failed to stop at a stop sign, hit two ditches almost 100 feet apart and then went into the air overturned several times before coming to a stop.
Lutzenkirchen was ejected from the vehicle and Davis was partially ejected. Neither man was wearing a seatbelt. Two other passengers in the car survived. Toxicology tests were only performed on Davis and Lutzenkirchen.
Following his death, Auburn fans rolled the oaks at Toomer's Corner in Lutzenkirchen's memory and a memorial service was held in his hometown, where both Auburn coach Gus Malzahn and AD Jay Jacobs attended. Georgia QB Hutson Mason was friends with Lutzenkirchen since the two were kids and wore a No. 43 pin in his memory when meeting with the media last week.
Lutzenkirchen caught 14 touchdown passes in his career at Auburn. He suffered a season-ending hip injury as a senior in 2012.

Baylor WR Clay Fuller proposed at a minor league baseball team's Baylor night (video)
Proposals at the ballpark are cliche and overused. But we'll give Baylor WR Clay Fuller a pass on this one. He wasn't in the stands and didn't propose between innings. And more importantly, his proposal didn't get denied.
Last week, the Round Rock Express, the AAA affiliate of the Texas Rangers, held a Baylor night. QB Bryce Petty was there, as was Fuller, a former walk-on WR who had 512 yards receiving last season.
Before Baylor, Fuller, 27, played minor league baseball and he and Petty were part of the ceremonial first pitch before the game. According to the Dallas Morning News, Fuller caught the ball, which had the words "Will You Marry Me?" on it, and took it over to his girlfriend, Makenzie Robertson.
Then this happened:
Robertson, a former athlete at Baylor, is the daughter of women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey.
