Former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy is currently under investigation by the Louisiana State Police regarding a tragic vehicle accident that occurred on December 17, 2024, which led to the death of a 78-year-old man named Herman Hall from Thibodaux, Louisiana. The accident took place in Lafourche Parish, and allegations suggest that Lacy was driving recklessly in a 2023 Dodge Charger at high speeds while crossing into a no-passing zone (source: AP News).

According to police reports, Lacy, aged 24, reportedly fled the scene of the crash without contacting emergency services or offering any form of assistance to the victims involved. Following the incident, an arrest warrant has been issued for Lacy, encompassing charges of negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run, and reckless operation of a vehicle (source: ABC News).

The incident occurred when Lacy allegedly maneuvered around several vehicles at a high rate of speed, prompting another driver to swerve in an attempt to avoid a collision. This resulted in a head-on crash with another vehicle, leading to Hall’s injuries and eventual death shortly after being taken to a hospital.

Lacy recently completed his tenure at LSU, where he stood out as a top receiver, recording 58 receptions for 866 yards and 9 touchdowns in the 2024 season. Shortly after the accident, he announced his decision to enter the NFL Draft and opted out of participating in the Texas Bowl against Baylor to focus on his preparation for the draft.

As the investigation unfolds, the Louisiana State Police have indicated that they are in discussions with Lacy’s legal team regarding his surrender. The status of Lacy’s attorney remains unclear at this time. LSU has declined to comment on the situation, citing respect for the ongoing legal process.

This developing story highlights the serious implications of reckless driving and the legal repercussions that can follow such actions.
