Which article? New evidence just came out yesterday. I think you are reading a very old article. New evidence just came out that he was 100 yards behind the collision when it happened. There is also body cam footage of the cop talking to a witness telling the witness what to put in the report.

He was in his own lane when the accident occurred but before that, he was driving recklessly and illegally passing cars in the opposite lane.
If he was driving in his own lane, would the truck have slowed down causing the car tailgating to avoid the truck by crossing over to the other lane?
Ultimately, the car that was tailgating the truck was at fault for not paying attention.
He didn't directly cause the crash but his actions played a factor. I don't think his actions rose to the level of murder but it was definitely reckless.

According to his lawyer he did indeed pass illegally on that road, but he was back in his lane well before the crash occurred and had no impact on the collision according to video and data from the cars computers

He was back into his own lane at 70 yds from the collision. And you know he was speeding in order to pass the cars ahead of him.
The driver of the truck slowed down because he saw Lacy's car coming at him.
Lacy didn't directly cause the accident but his recklessness played a role in causing it.
95% of the blame goes to the woman who crossed over into oncoming traffic and 5% to Lacy for initiating the chain of events that led to the collision.

Oh, and I'm sure Lacey's first call, 10 minutes after he fled the scene, was to a defense lawyer because he didn't have anything to do with the crash

Some of you just talk out of your a&$s. Do you have any clue how long it takes 2 cars headed at each other 90 yards apart, at 40 mph and probably 70 mph, to reach each other? It would take about a second and a half. And all the witnesses in the video posted by the state today, were stating that the green car was to blame for the resulting actions of the others, at the scene right after. Watch the video posted by the state today, not the partial video that the lawyer is trying to use to create a false narrative.

It's funny that the defense attorney made a big deal about the trooper "telling the witness to talk about the green Charger". Watching that video and speaking from experience investigating crashes/crimes, that is completely standard practice. Especially when combining it with the video where the witnesses tell the trooper on their own about the Charger.
What the attorney misled about in his claims is this: Witnesses know what they have told the officer in person but have a hard time writing a statement that is easy to read to an investigator/prosecutor who is not on scene. I always tell the witness to write the statement to a person who has no idea what has happened and then have to review it and have them edit it for clarity. So yes, the trooper would have reminded the witnesses to "write about the green Charger" since there is no green Charger on the videos but was identified immediately by every witness as the cause

It's a tragic story. Former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy could have gone on to have a great NFL career, but he squandered his talent by making some bad choices. Prayers for the victims' family

Probably 70? Talk about talking out of your a$$.
The driver in the truck that was driving towards Kyren was going 29 mph. He never slammed on his brakes because why would he? Kyren had gotten back into his lane 92 yards away. The entire blame on Kyren rests on saying that the guy in the truck had to slam on his brakes causing the car behind him to swerve into oncoming traffic. We now know definitely he never touched his brakes. So why did the person behind him have to swerve if he never braked which the data from his truck says is factual?

If the driver of the truck never hit the brakes and just ditched, the car behind him wouldn't have seen Lacy and swerved left. Even Lacy's attorney says the truck hit his brakes and accused the driver behind him of tailgating the truck in an attempt to shift liability from Lacy
That said, exactly where Lacy reentered his lane is pretty much irrelevant. He was passing vehicles going 40 mph, and witnesses estimated his speed at 80 mph. If we're conservative and say he was pushing at 60 mph, that would put him and the truck at a closing speed of 90 mph. That's ~44 yards/sec. At 150 yards, the driver of the truck has roughly 3 seconds to decide to keep going, ditch, or slam on his brakes. We know he did a combination of the latter 2. That let the car behind him with maybe 2-3 seconds to come to a decision as well. He may have gotten back over, but the oncoming drivers didn't have time to wait and see what he would do before they had to react themselves.
And even if the truck were wrong and unnecessarily hit the brakes and ditched, Lacy was in a no passing zone. The truck never would have reacted the way it did if Lacy were obeying the traffic markings. That fact alone makes him responsible.
