A pair of Clemson Football players have been named defendants in a civil law suit. Tiger Defensive Backs Malcolm Greene and Fred Davis II are being sued after their alleged reckless driving caused a crash resulting in major injuries. The wreck happened in the Summer of 2021, when the two were allegedly racing their cars and Davis hit a U.S. Postal vehicle.
The suit was filed in Pickens County on Wednesday by Karen Alvarez, the driver of the mail truck. Davis was arrested following the crash and charged with Reckless Driving. Coach Dabo Swinney says, the team punishment for both players was handled internally last year. Swinney also said, he knew the civil suit was coming, but it would not change the current status of either player.
The suit alleges that Davis was going well over 100 MPH, when he first the brakes prior to the crash. Alvarez suffered severe injuries including a fractured skull and other broken bones. She continues to suffer from those injuries. Davis and Greene now have 30 days to respond to the filing of the law suit.
