Two former college athletes were killed in a car crash in LaGrange Sunday morning, according to the Troup County coroner.

Philip Lutzenkirchen, 23, and Joseph Ian Davis, 22, died when their car flipped several times.

Lutzenkirchen, from Marietta, was a former Lassiter and Auburn football player. Davis, from Dunwoody, was a former Dunwoody and Georgia baseball player.

The wreck happened around 3 a.m., about 10 miles south of LaGrange.

Two others, Elizabeth Ann Seaton Craig, 22, from Eatonton, Georgia and Christian Tanner Case, 20, from Dadeville, Alabama, were injured in the crash.

Craig and Case were taken to West Georgia Medical Center.

According to the Georgia State Patrol, Davis was driving the Chevrolet Tahoe along Upper Big Springs Road and failed to stop at a stop sign. Police say the vehicle then traveled about 450 feet out of control. It went through a church yard and overturned several times before coming to rest on its roof.

Both Lutzenkirchen and Craig, who were in the back seat, were ejected from the vehicle.

Lutzenkirchen, who was one of the more popular players in recent school history, had his senior season cut short when he suffered a hip injury in 2012. He had surgery Oct. 24. Earlier in his career he helped the Tigers win the BCS national title 2010.

Davis was a junior college transfer to Georgia's Baseball team from USC Sumter.

Awful... PL was a good player.

Those that are still alive said, and this is hear say, that they were going to get some dip. Take it for what its worth

that's what the neighbor that they went to for help said as well. that part doesnt really matter to me. they might have been trying to pick up some beer or dip or whatever. we've all done that late at night. i just hope the driver was sober for everyone's sake. not sure if that would ease the families a little or not, but i feel like it would.

memorial service at lassiter on wednesday and visitation and funeral at transfiguration on thursday. if you're in the cobb county area but don't wanna feel out of place at a funeral or something, i bet the memorial on wednesday will be a really great evening of remembrance. phil
