if you have to choose between rear ending someone and swerving into oncoming traffic you are by definition following too close.

You are supposed to be following at a distance great enough that you are able o break in an emergency.

if you can’t, then you are following too close

I'm not absolving Lacy of all fault, but I am absolving him of at least some of it. The hypotheticals saying "if he wasn't illegally passing then none of this happens" miss the point, and I'd argue aren't true anyway. What if instead of an oncoming speeding Charger, the gold truck has to brake because a power pole was falling down in front of him. Is Funyuns still entitled to swerve into oncoming traffic? For the situation to happen, she must have been following too closely if her only options were swerve left, swerve right, or rear-end.

OK. This is dumb, but I'll bite.

If gold truck was going the speed limit, and she was speeding (faster than the speed limit) and also right on his bumper, why didn't she hit him? Either before the accident or especially when he laid on his brakes?


Yeah you are right, you are dumb.

The gold truck was going under the speed limit.

I didn't say she was right on his bumper. She was traveling at a faster speed than the gold truck.

You can find actual time needed to over take by using a simple calculator. Here you can use this one that is free for consumers to see quick she would run into the back of him. LINK


I have given her the benefit of the doubt saying she was 5 car lengths behind ( a car length is generally 15')

Her traveling at 49MPH and the gold truck traveling at 29MPH she would over take him in 2.56 sec or 158 feet.

he never said he didnt brake. He said he didnt "lock up". Thats asinine.


OK so if he didn't have to lock up then why did a vehicle behind him need to lock up or swerve into oncoming traffic unless she was traveling at too fast a speed and/or not paying attention?

You can break the law and not cause an accidentZ

Lacy illegally passed 4 cars and didn’t hit anyone. The car that he was basing his timing off (the gold truck in the oncoming lane) also didn’t hit anyone.

The Woman behind the gold truck was also breaking the law following too closely. She then broke the law again crossing the center line and hitting a car head on.

She wasn’t avoiding Lacy, she was avoiding rear ending the truck in front of her. That’s her fault.

To pass the buck to Lacy, she would have had to been reasonably likely to hit HIM head on.

stop arguing. You don't know shite about what you are saying. The gold truck was not travelling at 28 mph. Again, you got duped by a sleezebag attorney putting out information that was meant to misdirect and confuse people like you.

Is anyone even arguing that the funyon lady was paying attention or not speeding?

The argument is that the truck was going only 29 MPH, which was a calculation the defense attorney made. It’s much more likely he was traveling at or around the speed limit before braking, not 11 MPH below it.

So, you can theorize that it was maybe close enough for someone to panic, but I've been in similar situations with someone driving recklessly, coming at me, and that amount of space is not enough for me to just plow into someone to try to avoid it. It's just not strong evidence


If Lacy was driving 70mph it would take appx 2 seconds to cover 70 yards. It’s becomes under 2 seconds considering the truck was moving towards Lacy. That’s not a lot of time to react. I can definitely understand why the gold truck swerved.

I hate how The Advocate inserted this in their story:

"Ten minutes after the crash, Lacy stopped at a business 11 miles away and called a personal injury and defense attorney in the Baton Rouge area, State Police said. "

They are sure making a lot of assumptions about why Lacy was calling.

1) He may have been calling to tell the Attorney about a completely unrelated matter. He may have been confirming a meeting about a NIL deal with the Attorney.

2) He may have had a NIL deal with the Attorney already and was telling him that he witnessed an accident and it could be good business for the Attorney.

She didnt lock up either according to Ory. She swerved slightly left to avoid the truck in front of her who swerved right and applied his brakes. (imagine driving around a mail truck partially blocking the right side of your lane) Presumably figuring she could clear the truck and get by the southbound traffic in time. She was wrong. Had she been psychic and known in a spilt second that gold truck would have the skill to quickly veer into the carwash parking lot after initially veering, she could have stood on the brakes and maybe....maybe... avoided rear ending him.

But as a resident of the area, I can tell you that the speed limit drops from 50 to 40 right there at the tire place, and there are many folks stopping and turning off into business and streets on that stretch, so the traffic all slows and comes together in file from each direction (its a bottleneck)-similar to the southbound group of vehicles Lacy passed - so its common to have these vehicles following each other at about a car length or two through that short 40MPH stretch.

Kyren Lacy drove past this accident to which airbags were depoloyed and the car in the middle of the road 8 seconds after the MOMENT of the CRASH. 8 SECONDS AFTER.

KYREN NEVER CAME TO A STOP after the accident. He immediately once again went into the oncoming lane again 5 seconds after the crash.

here is what he drove past and manoeuvred around 8 seconds after a very serious car crash.

Everyone fell for that scam lawyer. I said this was fishy. Here is the most obvious thing people ignored. Who kills themselves for a traffic accident that they did not feel responsible for?

The absolute stupidest part of this story is the morons on social media overreacting to a few out of context and selectively edited clips from his lawyer as the end-all be all, after accusing people of jumping to conclusions to the original story. Talk about fighting ignorance with ignorance.

I think his death is more complex than that. Kyren has had impulse control and mental health challenges his entire life. He clearly got into some altercation with his sister in Houston and was fleeing police after discharging a weapon.

This was all on top of this looming charge in Louisiana.

I think its unfair to claim he would still be alive today if it weren't for the LSP. In fact, I think its irresponsible.

These trials in the court of public opinion are so exhausting.


Kyren's representation knew exactly what he was doing. He knew once his side of the story went viral, it would be the widely accepted truth regardless of LSP trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube with facts.

Not a single one of those big sports media accounts is going to walk back their snap judgements on a few short, out of context clips. The irony being they're so ignorant they don't even see they did the same thing they accused others of doing when the accident first happened.
