"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," Ory began.

"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 ever painted. Never."

Ory also provided data that showed another vehicle, "vehicle 2," tailgating the truck that crashed into the vehicle Hall was in, going nearly 50 mph just 0.5 seconds behind it and 1.5 seconds before the crash. 

Ory also provided bodycam footage of an officer talking to a man in that truck who claimed that the driver of vehicle 2 "caused" the crash despite police telling the man to write down specifics regarding Lacy in his statement, which was ultimately refused.

Louisiana State Police released the following statement to Fox News Digital in response to Ory's evidence.

"Following the crash, LSP conducted a detailed investigation with the assistance of crash reconstruction experts and with all available information at the time. Investigative findings revealed that Mr. Lacy's reckless driving while approaching oncoming traffic led to the events of the crash. The findings were presented to the 17th Judicial District Court, which approved an arrest warrant based on the evidence collected. As with all investigations leading to arrest, the subjects of the investigation are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. "No one disputes that he was behind the crash scene. His swerving, passing cars and reckless operation caused the series of crash events."

Rocky Arceneaux, Lacy's agent, said in January that his client was cooperating with authorities in the investigation.
