“I’m deeply saddened by the untimely passing of Philip Lutzenkirchen,” a statement from Auburn Coach Gus Malzahn said. “He was a great young man who touched the lives of everyone he knew in a positive way. On the field, Philip was a great player and competitor, but more importantly, he was a great teammate and friend off the field.”

The accident only involved one-vehicle, and occurred at roughly 3:05am near LaGrange, Georgia.
