Auburn, AL - The community of Auburn University has suffered a tragic loss following a single-car accident which occurred on Sunday evening.

On Tuesday, 20 yr-old Elizabeth "Libbie" Ainsworth, died from injuries she sustained when she was ejected from the vehicle which she was traveling in with boyfriend, Drew Cole, a safety for the Auburn football team.

Ainsworth was a sophomore at Auburn University.

There was one other passenger in the vehicle - Drew Cole's dog, Deuce.

The dog ran from the scene of the accident on Sunday. Since that time, a frantic search has been underway by friends and family of Deuce's devasted owner.

This morning, searchers found Deuce in the woods near the scene of the accident.

Deuce was hungry, thirsty and had suffered an injury to one of his hind legs, but appears to be otherwise in good condition.
A community of like-minded individuals had banded together via Facebook to conduct a search for the missing dog.

Those involved had one mission - to reunite Deuce with his owner, the young man already suffering from a tremendous loss.

That mission is now complete - Deuce is back where he belongs.

From this point on, he can stand by the side of his guardian as they both strive to recover from the painful tragedy that Sunday night's accident caused.

Rest in Peace Elizabeth Ainsworth. Sincere condolences to everyone who knew and loved this beautiful young woman.
