Courtney reilly was joshs girlfriend. She also knew, James Campbell, sarah vande burg and mills sproul who were in that car. She doesnt want the blame to fall on James Campbell who she says was driving the car. 3 3 even though there was a mistake that happened, you cant determine somebody on remembered as well as all of them for the people that they were, not just based off of this accident. In a press conference today, coroner rusty clevenger discussed how alcohol played a role in this accident. 3 3 3 in this case, indirectly, alcohol was a part of the cause of these young peoples deaths. Results show that the driver was legally drunk, and two of the passengers had blood alcohol levels above the 0. 08 legal level. Clevenger says one of the passengers barely had an alcohol level at all. Josh lees mom says that was her son, she released this statement. Our hearts are broken and so are the other three group of parents who also lost there child. Johnny and i hearts are just broken over the idea of the driver having a dui. If anyone knew josh he was the one to take the keys from his friends or even drive. So all of this just doesnt make sense to us. 3 and the mother of James Campbell who was driving the car also shared a statement about her son. James made a horrible choice, but he is a loved child of god and i have no doubt is resting in his arms right now. I am so, so with them because of this accident, including our own. Please know that james is not just this one decision. He is a lifetime of love and joy. Thank you to everyone who loves him for continuing to see him in that light. 3 and a spokesperson for usc upstate was also at todays press conference she says the school will never be the same after this accident but she says that now all incoming students are required to take a course on alcohol, she says there are also regular programs where alcohol and Substance Abuse is discussed.
