Three Louisiana men are facing charges and fines after a motorist hit them from behind while they walked along a road.
KATC reports that Deonte Williams, Cody Mayes, and Tevin Wilson are nursing scrapes, bruises and staples while facing charges of obstructing a public passage. As if being hit and charged with a misdemeanor wasn’t enough, the trio face additional fines for not wearing reflective clothing at night.
According to reports, the unidentified motorist that hit them faces no charges currently.
“For me to find out that this guy gets to just go home—we all get some misdemeanors and nothing happened to him,” Williams told the news station, “I’m upset about it.”
“I just wake up; my cousin [is] telling me, ‘Don’t get up,’ and I was just full of blood,” Williams recalled of being hit by the truck. “When I wake up, I don’t see nobody with the truck there. I don’t see nothing but the ambulance leaving with me.”
Police Chief Neal Lartigue told reporters that the case is still under investigation.
