Police: Drivers raced before PTC crash

Beer found in injured driver’s car; other driver arrested for DUI

Two Fayetteville men were racing each other when one lost control of his car on Walt Banks Road in Peachtree City across from McIntosh High School late Tuesday night, police said.

Jeremy Liles, 23, was seriously injured in the crash, police said. Liles was going north on Walt Banks near the intersection of Southern Trace when his Scion vehicle skidded across the road and onto the cart path, police said.

The Scion struck several subdivision signs and walls, causing his vehicle to overturn onto the cart path, police said.

Police said at the time of the crash Liles was racing with the driver of a car behind him, and preliminary results of the investigation show Liles' vehicle was traveling at roughly 75 mph, police said.

That driver, Cameron Lefeuvre, 28, of Fayetteville, was charged with DUI, racing, speeding and possession of duplicate driver’s licenses, police said.

Beer and other items were found in Liles' vehicle, said Peachtree City Police Chief James Murray, but he declined to say what the "items" were, saying the investigation is ongoing.

Liles was taken to Grady Hospital for treatment, police said.

Officers expect to file additional charges pending an investigation into the crash by the department’s specially-trained accident reconstruction investigators.

"It's just lucky that nobody was coming along when he had the wreck," Murray said. "... He's lucky he's alive and he didn't kill anybody."

That was not very nice of you. Here we extend our hospitality to you and what do you do? You challenge my manhood and then try to entice me with some of your gay sex. That ain't nice boy. I thought we was talking bout racing and you turned this conversation into your own personal attempt to hit on a bunch of old guys. Shame on you boy.

BTW...which "Really" was I supposed to respond to? Smiling Smiling Smiling

So where did you get your facts, IDRIVEFASTSOWAT [sic]. Were you there? Do you admit to participating in a CRIME (going more than twice the legal limit)? Do you not care that innocent people could have been KILLED because of that idiot's stupidity?

IDRIVEFASTSOWAT [sic], you, sir, are most certainly a punk*.

* A young person, especially a member of a rebellious counterculture group.

Not only do you take up for this idiot, you completely ignore these facts:

1) He was in possession of duplicate driver's licenses (a CRIME).
2) Beer in his car (probably open - a CRIME).
3) Going more than twice the legal limit (a CRIME).
4) Possession of "other items" (drugs? guns? a CRIME most likely).

Multiple crimes were committed and all you can do is take up for this idiot. I'm glad he DIDN'T die, but if he had, he would have been a fine choice for a Darwin Award.

I'm curious IDRIVEFASTSOWAT [sic], are you the same person as fastcarsandfreedom, sPeEdRaCeR, IcanDRIVE75, and FASTERCARequals...? Hmm? I'm taking virtual bets that all the above users are either the same person or they know each other. Looks like thecitizen.com and beautiful PTC are starting to be overrun by lawless punks. Sad

And no IDRIVEFASTSOWAT [sic], I'm not your mom, but I would most heartily recommend that she give you a good spanking behind the woodshed! Smiling

It would not be a pretty sight. The truth is that I have not cycled too much since I gave birth to my son colon - well part of it- a few years back. Surprisingly, I added some weight which is a heck of a lot better than not being around. I'm slowly getting back into the saddle. I'll find a picture.

Seriously though, I do hope your doing well health wise. I would imagine having your colon removed is tough to recuperate from. I truly wish you the best on that. Hope you get to ride soon.

I think he freaked out when everyone jumped him for slamming disussion on his buddy's accident. I always love it when "victims of their own stupidity" try to defend their actions as normal and acceptable behavior and come on here attacking the bloggers for their opinions. Then they pout and whine because everyone tee's off on their obvious stupidity.

Like Larry Incest Wicker. How about the young teenage boy that got killed while doping and boozing it up at a party. Who could ever forget his My Space page. And the famous gay rapper.... what was his name??? Oh yeah... Rahim. And there have been many others,

Changing the subject... We've got to get you an avatar too Cyclist. Glad you joined in with us. BTW.... I'm tryng to shake the image of you. You know... the one you gave us earlier. "Heavy enough to be 35 feet tall". Gee... picture that one in spandex on a bike.

I see these two guys getting nominated for the Darwin Award-- that collection of idiots who demonstrate the law of Natural Selection through their own stupidity.

They will be charged with Jaywalking, once the case gets handled by the District Attorney. The PTC Police and Chief Murray do a great job and they make good cases but then the perps meet the Santa Claus DA's office. There's a reason why Murray opposed Ballard.

to call people idiots. Who are you to judge someone for there mistakes. how would you feel to have someone over your shoulder after you cant tie your shoes or something wrong, and they do nothing but call you stupid, idiots, downs........do you know they were racing...did you see them, they just turned onto that road... and i bet if they were racing cam would be in front.....to those poeple who "think" they know...Cameron stopped, helped pull his friend out of the car and help him calm until the ambulance came....is that an idiot, no, are you....i cant judge

Submitted by Concerned Citizen on Thu, 07/12/2007 - 2:18pm.

I can safely say they are idiots. You admit they make mistakes, you fail to recognize we are now in that phase of being held accountable for said mistakes.

If you don't like the way your friends are being treated in the public eye then I suggest you pass on a little info to them...DONT BE DRUNK AND SPEED.

And your nonsense about the beer comming from the trunk and opening, I guess the DUI charge comes from the same beer "falling" into his mouth and slipping into his blood or breath....hmmmmm?

I would like to believe you are some made up character created just to make people mad but it turns out, to my disappointment, you really are this dense.

I come down Walt Banks twice a day (during the work week). I often see people screaming down that connector road. It worries me that my daughter will be heading there this year. We need to encourage or enforce people to drive respectfully. This is not New York City.

Would be more police action there. My fear is that during the summer, the police have little presence on that street. I am only speaking on what I see which is early in the morning and late in the afternoon. I cannot assume that the drivers would be much better outside the times I travel that road.
