The 2019 Nissan Maxima driven by Fontenot entered the inside lane traveling west after crossing the median. A 2018 Dodge Challenger traveling west then slammed the Maxima broadside on the passenger-side doors.

The Maxima then slammed the left side of a 2013 Kenworth 18-wheeler after partially moving into the outer westbound lane. Following the third collision, the 18-wheeler off the road and finally came to rest in the median. In the inner westbound lane of I-10, the Maxima and Challenger came to a stop. Despite being held, Fontenot sustained fatal injuries, and the Acadia Parish Coroner’s Office declared him dead on the spot.
