The driver, miraculously, remains in stable condition despite the severity of the crash. Eyewitnesses recall the startling moment when the vehicle unexpectedly careened by. One resident, who observed the incident up close, expressed the urgency with which he retreated from the scene upon realizing the unfolding danger.Despite the ongoing construction in the area, speculation points to speeding as the primary factor contributing to the accident. Superintendent Allison Byfield, the commanding officer for the parish, is urging motorists to exercise caution on the roads.
