I know most don't have access to AJC so I'll try and cliff note it:
-Opens with Willock's father finally visiting crash site last Saturday. States he hasn't liked what he heard and read the last few days.
-Willock and his wife haven't been told about the vehicles racing until they read it in AJC. Claims neither UGA nor ACCPD have shared any of the details about the crash to them.
-Willock's father said they've only been told "excess speeding" and no knowledge of anything else. “I had no knowledge of nothing else. It was just a situation of wondering what happened. But, it just shocked me to know that this was drag racing, you know, and drunken driving. I was really shocked to hear that.”
-Willock's father said he and his wife have been disappointed with lack of communication they've received from university officials and Athens police.
-Said all the news about the racing and changing lanes, overtaking other motorists has all been new news to them. "Dave Willock said neither UGA nor Athens-Clarke County police have been communicating with them or providing updates on their investigations. Everything they have learned has been from AJC news accounts.." "“Everybody (has been) just lips sealed,” said Willock, a first-generation immigrant from Antigua who is currently staying with friends in Miami. “It’s sad to know that people, other teammates, was there when all this happened and no one said nothing (to us). I just think it’s unfair. … If it wasn’t for (news reports) we would never know nothing.”
-Dave Willock said they hadn’t gotten any information about the crash from McClendon, who was Devin’s roommate.
“He was in the front seat of the car and he knows nothing?” Willock said incredulously about McClendon’s public statements that he “blacked out” and couldn’t remember anything. “It’s not fair. … No one is telling the truth. If it was Devin, Devin would tell the truth. That’s the way I raised him.”
-Dave Willock said he and his wife have hired legal counsel. They have retained William Stiles, a wrongful death attorney and motor safety specialist from Atlanta who operates a law firm called Stiles for Life. Willock reiterated that they are not working with the Big Injury Lawyers law firm that was representing their son in an Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deal brokered not long before the accident.
"Yes, Willock said, they are contemplating legal action."
