Found on Reddit Acadiana since deleted.

"Apparently somebody was trying to “burn out”, lost control and hit a crowd of people. According to comments on “What’s up acadiana” Facebook group, 16 people injured and one person had to be flown out on air med".

It’s New Iberia. This is almost certainly going to be a usual suspect.

Would make sense considering time of day, location & event.

Captain Cade & Melancon Rd are out there

Closer to Le Triomphe than NILA proper

Laotian baws from New Iberia. Grew up with a few of them in Broussard. They do have their version of the haircut as well.
