Former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy is facing charges of negligent homicide and hit and run after authorities say his reckless driving on Louisiana Highway 20 in Lafourche Parish caused a head-on collision that killed a 78 year old man. L-S-P says the wreck happened on December 17th and Lacy kept driving, failing to stop and render aid or call authorities. Lacy’s agent says Kyren is fully participating in the investigation and they strongly believe the facts will demonstrate the truth. Lacy led the Tigers in touchdown catches this past season and was expected to be a mid-round selection in this year’s NFL draft.
