You are unbelievable. One of the witnesses on scene in the video clearly said that the woman went the wrong way and caused the accident. The gold truck driver said she was tailgating him and caused the crash. You want Lacy to be cause so badly

Imagine it’s somewhere in between - KL has some fault here

It’s back to the accountability aspect - why endanger people driving like a maniac?

I mean, she did. That doesn't mean she's the sole cause. You have to ask, why did those people take the actions they did?

Normal accident investigation would first be based on that vehicle (the closest vehicle). If he had time to stop or avoid the accident than anyone behind him should have had time as well.

The lady was traveling too fast behind a slow moving truck. She was distracted by eating her funyons and playing with her radio.

She approached the slow moving gold truck too quickly and turned into oncoming traffic to avoid overtaking him and hitting him.

The man in the gold truck even supports this when he says that she's the one that caused the accident.


This is where I'm at and it's the most logical thing.

I think it all boils down to why did the gold truck slow down/stop/veer off...If it was because of Lacy being in his lane, then Lacy will bear most of the blame...

It is clear that Lacy was passing vehicles at a high rate of speed in a no passing zone...does anyone really dispute that? If the gold truck braked because Lacy being in his lane spooked him, then Lacy is mostly to blame...

quote:

Under Louisiana law, a driver can be held responsible for a crash even if their vehicle never actually makes contact with another one. What matters is whether their actions set off the chain of events that led to the wreck.

That’s what “proximate cause” means — if one driver’s dangerous move (like passing in a no-passing zone or forcing another car to swerve) directly causes another driver to crash, the first driver can still face charges such as negligent homicide.

So in this case, the State Police are saying Kyren Lacy’s alleged attempt to pass cars in a no-passing zone started the sequence that caused the deadly collision, even though his car wasn’t the one that actually hit anyone.

You can break the law and not cause an accident


You can also "cause" an accident and not be breaking the law, getting to wash your hands clean and walk away. Think of turning left on green at an intersection. You could successfully make a risky squeeze between traffic and someone drastically overreact to you and get into a wreck. Just because it was your action that ultimately "caused" the accident, doesn't necessarily make you at fault.

In this situation he happened to be breaking the law, which makes it a tough call to make. He was driving like a total POS, we can all agree--but in my opinion he in not at fault. When the accident occurred he was well within his lane traveling at the same speed as everyone else.

If someone standing on the side of the road pulled down their pants and flashed their arse to a driver, who was then distracted by this full moon and got in an accident--is the pedestrian at fault? He's breaking the law of indecent exposure.

Not trying to be an arse (lol), just bringing interesting thoughts and perspectives.

So let’s completely disregard the car flying in the other lane and less than 2 seconds of reaction time for the man in the cold truck. Had KL not been coming at him he never would have slowed to 11 below the limit and tried pulling over as far as he could. Funyun is culpable, but you’re deliberately supporting KL without looking at the whole picture.

Had Kyren been in BR at LSU, would the truck ever been forced to make a decision to slow and pull over based on the incoming car going opposite direction straight at him at a high rate of speed?

You’re either clueless as to traffic laws and the operations of a traffic enforcement officer, or you are deliberately ignoring facts. Maybe even both.

It’s okay to say you think kyren was a standup kid who’s not culpable in any way shape or form.

Everyone is making this more complicated than it is…

-Lacy trying to pass cars going way too fast
-gold truck slows down and tries to avoid Lacy, but doesn’t have anywhere to go to completely get out of way
-Funyuns lady following gold truck too closely, doesn’t have anywhere to go, and swerves into oncoming car


The above is pretty simple and straight-forward IMO. The big question is was there anything “criminal” in the above, or was it merely a car accident with some bad drivers And needs to work itself out with insurance and in civil court.

Sad situation all around. Especially with how it played out with Lacy’s suicide. Personally I do believe Lacy should have stopped. I don’t know if anything changes after that, but nonetheless he should have stopped and given his account at the scene.

The gold truck was in front of the white car that swerved into the other lane. Based on height of the white car and gold truck the car would not even be able to see ahead of the truck to see the charger coming.

The gold truck breaking to turn and the white car not paying attention caused the driver of the car to swerve into other lane to avoid rear-ending the gold truck. Nothing to do with green charger.

Yes you can charge him for reckless driving but not for homicide charges

Awful quiet on Twitter this morning from all those local media accounts who were crowing for days after that interview dropped.

Looking Moscona's way. He posted the LSP video but didn't walk back his claim from 3 days ago that Kyren didn't cause the accident.

No matter how reckless he may have been driving beforehand, the other two cars crashed well ahead of him. Lacy had no direct involvement in that collision and is innocent of causing it. Corruption at its finest

He was very careful yesterday with his words. Will be interesting to see if he makes any changes today.

Lacy’s first outgoing call to a defense attorney signifies anything?

Funyona was main culprit for tailgating gold truck. Green charger caused gold truck to slow down . Could’ve been nothing but a reckless charger move if Funyona had been able to safely stop in her own lane. KL def not innocent bystander.

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.


Holy crap.

he swerved right to avoid a collision and that’s when the car behind him saw Lacy’s car coming at them in their lane and swerved left. Is that correct?


Based on the black box information presented by Kyren's attorney, the car behind the truck was going almost 50mph and tailgating and she swerved because the gold truck slowed down to 28 mph in a 35 zone. She did not swerve because she saw Lacy's charger, she swerved so she didn't rear-end the gold truck. The owner of the gold truck says he never slammed on his brakes and the black box info from his truck suggests that.

Multiple things can be right. Lacy was driving reckless and it resulted in the gold truck slowing down and moving to the right. The woman who swerved into oncoming traffic while speeding, tailgating, and eating Funions from her lap was not in a position to react effectively to the truck in front of her slowing down. The police, mostly, did their job correctly. However, is Lacy responsible for the woman speeding and tailgating? Why does the written report from the police statement not match what the driver of the gold truck said on body cam footage and the the report subsequently signed as "Refused" (why was this redacted in the police video in the OP? There was a previous report that the woman involved in the wreck was cited for reckless driving and then it was removed for some reason. Is this true? If so, why was it removed when the black box info shows she was speeding, she admitted she was eating while driving, and she was tailgating?

There are several questions that people want to know the answer to and it seems like the ones that have the answers aren't wanting to share the whole story, which is why were are slowly getting a wider divide in opinions on this situation.

This. I don’t understand how this new video shows anything but this. It shows the accident happen up ahead while he’s behind and he brakes just like everyone else. This is the first I’ve really looked into this sad episode but someone please explain how he could have contributed to an accident we see him react to while behind the accident. It also hardly looked like he blew through the accident but just rolled around it.’

Honestly if I didn’t see it happen and if others had already stopped, I’m not stopping either.
