ESPN Hosts Apologize After Louisiana State Police Release Counter-Evidence in Kyren Lacy Crash Case

The new briefing with videos reasserts that investigators believe Lacy’s reckless passing triggered the December 2024 collision that killed Herman Hall.

Overview

  • Scott Van Pelt apologized on Wednesday night for an 'incomplete reaction' after initially amplifying a defense video presented by Kyren Lacy’s attorney.
  • Ryan Clark issued an on-air apology Thursday, saying he failed to gather complete facts before declaring Lacy innocent and alleging police misconduct.
  • Pat McAfee also walked back earlier comments, noting additional footage showed Lacy driving in the wrong lane and potentially prompting an evasive swerve.
  • Louisiana State Police released a Critical Incident Briefing with surveillance and witness accounts, maintaining Lacy’s passing in a no-passing zone set off the fatal chain of events.
  • Lacy’s attorney Matthew Ory continues to argue Lacy was roughly 72 yards behind at impact, and the criminal case remains unresolved procedurally following Lacy’s April suicide before a grand jury review.
