There were two survivors.
Stevens faces the following charges:
- two counts of felony death by motor vehicle

- underage consumption
- reckless driving
Jeffrey's dad, Bob Jones, said his son was academic and an athlete.
He played tennis and was a member of the swim team. He was a proud mountaineer at West Virginia University as well.
"I'll never forget the day...after having two girls, Jeff was born. We didn't know the sex of any of our children. Jeff was born, and I must have done 50 cartwheels. I...bought cigars to give to all the doctors, and I remember those times because I was so happy I had a son. Just a beautiful God loving kid who was nice to everyone," Bob said.
