Pick 100 drivers at random and have the car in front of them lock their brakes. What percentage do you think can avoid accident without swerving into another lane?

I always try to factor that into how I space myself in traffic, most dumbasses, and apparently Lacy, see that as an opportunity, pisses off the frick out of me

Not trying to be a dick, but how do you know the particulars of the accident?

LSP Press Release

"The investigation revealed that the crash occurred as a 2023 Dodge Charger was traveling south on LA Hwy 20. The driver of the Dodge, later identified as 24-year-old Kyren Lacy of Thibodaux, recklessly passed multiple vehicles at a high rate of speed by crossing the centerline and entering the northbound lane while in a designated No-Passing Zone. As Lacy was illegally passing the other vehicles, the driver of a northbound pickup truck abruptly braked and swerved to the right to avoid a head-on collision with the approaching Dodge. Traveling behind the pickup was a 2017 Kia Cadenza whose driver swerved left to avoid the on coming Dodge Charger. As the Kia Cadenza took evasive action to avoid impact with the Dodge, it crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a southbound 2017 Kia Sorento. Following the crash, Lacy drove around the crash scene and fled south on LA Hwy 20 without stopping to render aid, call emergency services, or report his involvement in the crash. Troop C was later notified that Hall, who was a passenger in the Kia Sorrento, succumbed to his injuries from the crash after being transported to a hospital for treatment."

Off topic but somewhat on topic.

Speaking about mental health.

Thought he might say more than he did.

Like I said, the impact with lacey has to be reasonably likely to happen to justify her taking evasive maneuvers that cause an accident. and that doesn’t seem to be the case.

---

From what i can tell in the police reports he was driving aggressively and peaked out to see if he could pass and got back.



That’s the only scenario how he could avoid impact on a 2 lane road.


Because he kept driving they only got one side of the story.


Of course they will place all the blame on lacy

u call that livin'?

I understand that’s what the police report says, but based on the implications of the attorney that may not be true. He seemed to have first hand knowledge, which is why I asked.

You are right. It’s a shame Mr Brister’s son only got probation for killing someone in a hit and run.

One of my wife’s friends taught him in middle school. Apparently he’s always struggled with emotional control and outbursts. Sounds like an opportunity to help this kid was long missed.

If what the person said in the other thread who claims to have first hand knowledge of Lacy and his issues going in for months prior to the accident, is true, it does seem there could have been some missed opportunities. Hard to say without knowing more about that though he said the family has gone through hell and was trying to prevent the ultimate result.

Lacy was 24 years old and possibly going to be drafted before the accident and after if the grand jury didn’t indict. We can only speculate about the situation, but if they’ve been through hell and the issues lasted that long even before the accident and to the extent they were watching him, I have to wonder…. Hindsight is what it is.

We don’t know what they tried or if they tried to protect him so the draft was a possibility. We just don’t know and it’s all difficult to be in the moment thinking you’re doing what’s best and assessing what you can even do.
