For those asking, this is the stretch of Hwy 20 where it happened.
It's not exactly an urban area by any means. However, there are several businesses and stores in the direct vicinity and solid, double-yellow, DO NOT PASS lines on the damn highway. Im going to go out on a limb here and guess that the lines are there for that exact reason. There is far too great of a risk of drivers entering the highway in either direction for it to be a safe and legal passing zone. Period. Thanks for the picture. Its a great visual reference for the scene of the accident for those who have no clue where the accident scene actually was, and gives a nice rendering of where and how things could have transpired.

Lafourche DA is not going to charge a well known LSU football player with homicide without a thorough investigation.
Has the DA charged anything? Is the investigation still open? There can be a lot of difference between a police report and the facts. I'm not saying cops are biased or incompetent; just that they don't always have all the facts and things aren't always as they first appear.

Just another reason to spend a measly $100 on a dash cam.

Wanna bet?
With who his attorney is and how he is viewed in that area combined with the city attorney and their relationship I am at the point of betting he walks away free.

In what world is it a crime to not help after an accident?

There's a police report for a reason
Most police reports aren’t shite. And they aren’t admissible in court because the police officer wasn’t a witness. Police are notorious for picking the wrong side as to what they “think” happened - a lot of times the first person they talk to’s side.
Tons of accident reports have the police posting one person at fault and then video footage comes out showing that the accident didn’t occur that way.
What the police report will be good for is listing the witnesses and their general statements.
With regards to Lacy specifically I would bet that there is dashcam footage or other footage other than just witness saying he caused the accident. And if State Police got involved in the accident investigation it will like be a little little more thorough and buttoned up. If it’s just the Lafourche parish sheriff’s office then it’s a crapshoot on how thorough the investigation was.

Was it a no passing zone that he passed in …. Or not
According to Google maps, its a single yellow line to inbound traffic from about where the speed limit is reduced. And a double yellow line prior to the intersection at Perez Lane, all the way into town. Also in the report

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

Failure to stop and render aid is also a crime which the lawyer just admitted. Not as bad as vehicular homicide but still a pretty bad look especially since a person in one of the vehicles died. May not have been anything he could have done and also if he stopped he may not be in this shite situation now
I believe if you weren’t a participant in the accident, meaning you were not involved in it, then it’s not a crime in La if you don’t stop and render aid. From that statement, it seems like they are saying the accident happened in front of him and he wasn’t a participant, making it not criminal.
I did find this on the internet about having to render aid by, at least calling for help if the person is seriously injured but how is someone driving by able to know that without exiting the vehicle. It seems like this will be his argument.

There isn’t a 4 lane highway in America that allows crossing into oncoming lanes.

that is a very different version of events
Is it? It sounds pretty much like the same thing we heard before:
- Lacy was passing in a no-passing zone.
- Car in oncoming lane swerves and collides with a vehicle in front of Lacy.
- Lacy drives around the accident and leaves without stopping or calling 911.
The question is the same as before - whether it was Lacy’s fault the car swerved into oncoming traffic. Of course his attorney says it isn’t.
The statement does seem to discredit the “he was just turning into a parking lot” story being parroted by that one poster. Other than that, I don’t think it tells a different story than the one we read originally.
Idk whether the charges ultimately stick, but what sticks out to me is still the fact that he observed a deadly head-on collision right in front of him and left without even calling 911.

That’s simply not true.
I will say this. The original report always confused me because it said Lacy drove around the accident which never made sense if he caused it. This led to many assuming he must have turned around to drive around it.
I guess we will have to wait to find out the truth. But if the facts are closer to what was originally reported, and this is his response, there can be no forgiveness.

What a bullshite spin on what happened. Yeah, his car didn't hit anybody. Why? Because he was driving INTO the oncoming lane, and the guy who was oncoming had to swerve into HIS oncoming lane (the lane Lacy should have been driving in) to avoid colliding with Lacy. So his actions caused somebody else to swerve into another lane to avoid him and ended up killing the guy Lacy was passing recklessly.
But yeah, his car didn't collide with anybody. Such a horseshite spin.

Not that I know what happened or believe the attorney. But that's not a hole in the story.
Yes it is a hole. No one would be blaming the dodge Charger if it was behind the wreck and safely waited to pass until after everything happened. The two drivers who swerved would not have immediately blamed the charger in this scenario. It’s pretty obvious that Kyren is guilty, unfortunately.
