The Opelika-Auburn News is reporting that senior defensive back Drew Cole and 20-year-old sophomore Elizabeth Lauren “Libbie” Ainsworth were involved in a one-car accident Sunday night. Cole was treated and released from a hospital the night of the crash, but Ainsworth succumbed to her injuries late Tuesday night.
Cole and Ainsworth were dating, and were returning from a hunting trip. A state trooper said the two were looking for directions to a sporting goods store when the vehicle Cole was driving left the road and flipped, ejecting Ainsworth from the car.
“Even if the GPS is on your dash, you have to take your eyes off the roadway and focus on a three inch screen, and that’s exactly what happened here,” Sergeant Gary McWaters told WLTZ-TV. ”They left the roadway, jerked the steering wheel, and before you know it, he only had a few seconds.”
