A NEW video has emerged of a car accident which a former NFL Draft prospect was accused of causing has emerged.
Kyren Lacy died at age 24 in a suspected suicide in April.
He was found dead in his car in Houston, Texas, just hours before he was due to appear in front of a grand jury.
Lacy was accused of causing a crash which killed a 78-year-old man.
He was also accused of fleeing the scene with charges of negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run and reckless operation of a vehicle.
But a new video has since emerged of the road collision.
And his attorney Matthew Ory claims it proves his innocence.
Ory gave a long interview on HTV 10 this week.
He said, "We know from data that Kyren Lacy did in fact pass four cars, there's no disputing that.
"Further north Kyren Lacy passed four cars.
"However, he was back in his lane of travel 92.3 yards back in his lane behind Mr. Hall.
"At the time of impact, he's 72.6 yards behind the vehicles at the time of impact.
"Key word: behind the vehicles.
"That is not how this story was painted. Never."
The crash Lacy was accused of being involved in happened in December 2024.
Herman hill died at age 78.
Lacy was a rising football star and expected to be picked in the 2025 NFL Draft.
He played three seasons with LSU and scored nine touchdowns in his final season.
“LSU has truly made a big impact on my life on and off the field, these past three years,” he posted on Instagram in January.
“Playing in Death Valley, for the best fans in the country was an experience I will never forget.
“Not too many people get to fulfill a dream like this.”
Lacy thanked his coaches and trainers before rounding off the post: “With that being said, I will be declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft.”
Lacy's dad, Kenny, posted on social media his life has been changed forever.
"Our lives have changed forever and this will never be ok, but God needed my baby more than he was needed here," he said.
"This has to be the biggest pill our families have had to swallow but I know the love and compassion in our families will get us through. This will never get easier, but we'll learn to live with it."
