A $1 million bond ruling in the Collin Lacaze hit-and-run case did not decide guilt. What it did was put several pieces of the prosecution’s evidence into the public record, including surveillance footage, vehicle debris, an alleged statement and a blood-test result that an officer described as negative. Collin Lacaze, a 16-year-old Alexandria Senior…
The first public accounts of the Perkins Road crash leave a basic fact unresolved: which vehicle Malachi Antoine was driving. That gap matters because the two drivers occupied very different positions in the reported sequence. Antoine, 22, died after the September 15, 2026 collision near Bles Avenue in Baton Rouge. WAFB and WBRZ reported…
The encouraging news from a serious head-on crash near Roanoke was that a four-month-old child was expected to recover. The investigation still raises two separate questions: why one vehicle crossed the centerline, and whether the way the infant carrier was installed made the child’s injuries worse. Louisiana State Police said the September 11, 2026…
Bastrop police were seeking information about the fatal hit-and-run that killed Kerry L. Johnson, 59, on Henry Avenue. In its September 14, 2026 report, KNOE said police believed the collision occurred Friday night or Saturday morning.

Derek Grandchampt, 40, of Nederland, Texas, died after a pickup struck him on U.S. 90 near Cleveland Road in Vinton on September 6, 2026.
