Officials said Lagrange was riding an electric scooter with no lights north in the southbound lane of LA 347. At the same time, a 2015 Chrysler 300 was traveling in the northbound lane of LA 347 and was attempting to pass a slower vehicle in a passing zone.

For reasons still under investigation, as the Chrysler moved into the southbound lane to pass, it struck the scooter from the rear. Lagrange, who was not wearing a helmet, was transported to a nearby hospital with serious injuries, where he later died. The driver of the Chrysler was restrained and not injured.
