Troopers say Matthew Vincent, 37, of Vinton, unlawfully entered the crane around 5:30 a.m. while it was parked in a work zone near LA-108.
Detectives say he manipulated the boom over the westbound lanes, causing multiple vehicles to strike crane cables. Officials say at least four crashes occurred, leaving two people injured, damaging the crane, and forcing a lengthy interstate closure. Investigators say Vincent had earlier abandoned his truck in a nearby field before climbing into the crane. He was arrested and booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center on the following charges: One count of simple burglary
One count of aggravated obstruction of a highway
Two counts of negligent injuring
Five counts of hit-and-run driving
One count of criminal mischief
One count of a pedestrian on the interstate.

What a genius.
Dude had to be seriously drunk or drugs. Don't see that in the arrest report though.

It would be bizarre if this is the guy but a realtor with the same name and a 337 area code number exists.

Clearly ole baw was shitfaced.
My guess is he either bumped into a lever or was effing around with them, and gravity did the rest.
I remember as a kid effing around on a bulldozer that had the blade lifted. I moved a lever and that blade dropped fast and hard.

Maybe he thought he could use the crane to get his truck out.

They should be lienent. Clearly the baw got his pickup stuck and seeing the crane thought he had a sure fire way to get it out.

Seems like that would be listed if he was intoxicated at all. I mean he's got a charge for walking on the interstate. Very interesting behavior if this guy was not drunk or high.
