What a sad situation. A man dead, others injured probably pretty bad, and an NFL career ruined.

While he will certainly go to jail if he was the driver, there's always a chance he wasn't driving. He might still face jail time if he was a passenger and didn't report it, but I think more details need to come out.

Louisiana State Police allege Lacy was driving a 2023 Dodge Charger south on LA Highway 20

I once saw a case where a driver was traveling on a 2-lane road. The car traveling in front of him suddenly stopped. The following driver swerved off the road to the right shoulder and avoided the collision. That led to the car behind him not realizing the 1st car in line had stopped until it was too late. Car 3 rear-ended Car 1. Car 2 (the driver who avoided the accident) kept on going after he got around Car 1. No one died in the accident, but Car 2 was sued civilly for "causing" the accident. He didn't think he did anything wrong. In fact, he didn't hit anyone at all. Theoretically, had one of the drivers in the accident died the driver of Car 2 could have been charged with negligent homicide and hit and run. He "ran" because all he did was think he was lucky to avoid an accident. He didn't think he "caused" it.
In your scenario, Car 2 didn't cause the accident, did nothing wrong, and the wreck occured behind him.
All three of those components seem at odds with what LSP says happened here.

From 20 million to 20 years in the blink of an eye

Apparently you don’t follow a lot of La criminal sentencing for fatal crashes

I have 0 pity for Lacy. I don’t know the dude. Good people frick up at times. If I had to guess I wouldn’t put Lacy in the good person category based on his actions on the field but didn’t want to fully judge him based on that.

100. Hit-and-run driving
A. Hit-and-run driving is the intentional failure of the driver of a vehicle involved in or causing any accident, to stop such vehicle at the scene of the accident, to give his identity, and to render reasonable aid.

t won’t be that bad because Ruggs was drunk as hell. Lacy may have been drunk, but appears he was being a typical retarded Charger drivers that you see flying on the interstate.
But he may be looking at prison time. Doubt any one drafts him now.
If he were drunk or impaired at the time he would be charged with vehicular homicide. The fact that he isn't indicates they don't have evidence he was drunk/impaired (at least at this time).
And for everyone think he's going to get life in prison if found guilty, the maximum sentence for negligent homicide is 10 years.

Probably caught due to good police work.
Witness description at the scene.
Video cameras along the route at business and private homes.
License plate readers on the route.
Using these 3 together enhances police chance of catching the vehicle / driver.

Never liked him bc he can't consistently be relied on to catch passes. Was one of the worst #1 receivers at LSU in recent memory. If these allegations are true, he should definitely catch prison time

Was he actually involved in the crash, or did he just cause it? It's not clear if his vehicle was actually wrecked.
The way the article read to me doesn’t sound like his car actually hit anyone else. Not sure what the legal responsibility is for witnessing an accident. It’s not clear that he knew he was at fault. The headline, the article text, and the charges aren’t congruent.

Yeah, I would have been surprised had he made a roster.

So were they found liable when they were sued?

If what LSP says is accurate. He wasn't a witness. He caused the accident by driving on the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic in a no-pass zone. And then drove around the accident to flee the scene.

I guess being in the wrong lane, seeing cars swerve out of the way, and one of those cars hitting another vehicle in front of him wasn't a good enough clue?
From the picture of the accident scene in the SEC Rant thread, the accident occurred in broad daylight.

The Advocate has a much better written article. This all happened at 10am

The driver of Car 2 was held at trial to have caused the accident (though the judgment was overturned on appeal).
Really though, I was trying to illustrate the point that if you don't think you "caused" the accident then there is no reason to think you owe a duty to stop. Everyone is saying he is a POS for not stopping. If he didn't think he did anything wrong then he didn't think he had a duty to stop.
It very well may be found that he caused the accident. If so, he will likely be found guilty of hit-and-run too.

So where exactly is Hwy 20 south? Where did the accident happen?
