If true, at most if lacy was driving in the improper lane going against traffic, that still does not constitute the NH because lacy was not under the influence of and drugs or alcohol.

The law clearly states that
1. Vehicular homicide
A. Vehicular homicide is the killing of a human being caused proximately or caused directly by an offender engaged in the operation of, or in actual physical control of, any motor vehicle, aircraft, watercraft, or other means of conveyance, whether or not the offender had the intent to cause death or great bodily harm, whenever any of the following conditions exists and such condition was a contributing factor to the killing:
(1) The operator is impaired by alcoholic beverages as determined by chemical tests administered under the provisions of R.S. 32:662.
(2) The operator's blood alcohol concentration is 0.08 percent or more by weight based upon grams of alcohol per one hundred cubic centimeters of blood.
(3)(a) The operator is impaired by any other drug, combination of drugs, or combination of alcohol and drugs.
(b) As used in this Section, the term "drug" means any substance or combination of substances that, when taken into the human body, can impair the ability of the person to operate a vehicle safely.
(4) The operator is impaired by alcoholic beverages.
(5) The operator's blood has any detectable amount of any controlled dangerous substance listed in Schedule I, II, III, or IV as set forth in R.S. 40:964, or a metabolite of such controlled dangerous substance, that has not been medically ordered or prescribed for the individual.
(6), (7) Repealed by Acts 2024, No. 662, §3.

And therefore the NH should be dismissed. Now considering the fleeing the scene as previously stated “if lacy’s vehicle was not involved in accident he did bot have to stay at scene. Lets resort to the law for that charge of felony hit and run..

Louisiana law states that
(2) Whoever commits the crime of hit-and-run driving, when death or serious bodily injury is a direct result of the accident and when the driver knew or should have known that death or serious bodily injury has occurred, shall be fined not more than five thousand dollars or imprisoned with or without hard labor for not more than ten years, or both.

Firstly, lacy was not involved in the accident and the law is clear when stating that the individual must be the direct result of the accident. The direct result cant be proven because lacy’s vehicle was not involved in any crash.
