Former Auburn tightend Philip Lutzenkirchen died in a car accident June 29.

Lutz's death sends reminder to stay safe while driving

Hearts were broken across the Southeast when a car crash claimed the life of 23-year-old Philip Lutzenkirchen, a former Auburn football player, on June 29. Just as the Auburn Family was beginning to heal from its loss, Georgia State Police released the blood alcohol content levels of the driver of the vehicle and Lutzenkirchen, which reopened the wound for those affected by his death. USA Today said the supplemental accident report published Aug. 6 revealed Joseph Ian Davis, 22, who was driving Lutzenkirchen and two other passengers, had a BAC level of 0.17 - more than twice Georgia's legal limit of 0.08.
