Jerry Lewis Crowe appealed to this Court from his conviction of two counts of second degree vehicular homicide, which charges arose when Crowe backed his flatbed wrecker truck onto Highway 20 in Conyers, striking an oncoming vehicle driven by Lynn Lynch, and resulting in the deaths of two teenagers who were passengers in Ms. Lynch’s vehicle. In that appeal, we affirmed the trial court’s grant of the State’s motion in limine as to evidence of the presence of marijuana metabolites in Lynch’s urine.1 The Supreme Court of Georgia reversed.2 Accordingly, our decision in Crowe v. State, supra, is hereby vacated, the judgment of the Supreme Court is made the judgment of this Court, and the judgment of the trial court is reversed. Judgment reversed. Johnson, P.J., and Mikell, J., concur .
