Authorities say one person was killed in a single-vehicle crash that occurred Saturday morning.
According to Louisiana State Police, the accident happened around 1 a.m. Saturday on I-10 West near LA 73.
Officials say 15-year-old Jessie Chaney from Denham Springs was traveling westbound on I-10 in a 2004 Infinity G35. Troopers believe Chaney was traveling at a high rate of speed when the left rear tire failed, and he lost control of the vehicle.
The vehicle went off the roadway, struck a tree, and ignited while Chaney was still inside. One of the passengers was unrestrained and ejected from the vehicle. Chaney had a total of four passengers in the vehicle and they are being treated for moderate to serious injuries, authorities say.
Chaney sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead on the scene.
A routine toxicology sample will be taken for analysis.

Can anyone point to where the article stated that there was recklessness involved?
It’s says they believe he was traveling at a “ high rate of speed” when the “rear tire failed”. Sounds like he had a blow out. Who knows if he was speeding - the speed limit is 70which is a high rate of speed, especially while experiencing a blow out.
