The Lincoln rear-ended an Amazon delivery van parked on the shoulder of the roadway as the driver was returning to his van after making a delivery. The crash catapulted the van into the driver causing him to sustain serious injuries.

Before police and first responders arrived on the scene, Laws fled in a burgundy Kia that drove him away from the scene. Police later found, in some nearby bushes, a loaded Glock 9mm handgun that had been reported stolen, marijuana and drug paraphernalia reportedly discarded by Keonne Laws.
