Teenagers Thrown from Moving Truck | Baton Rouge News

In Robert, Louisiana, a reckless teen driver, 18-year-old Josean Martinez, caused a horrific crash on U.S. 190 early August 2nd, hurling two teens—17-year-old girl and 20-year-old man—out of the moving truck. The girl remains critically injured, the man in serious condition. Martinez allegedly stood in the bed and had the girl hang out the window; both lost grip and were thrown. A bystander called 911, but Martinez and a 13-year-old passenger fled before deputies arrived, with evidence showing Martinez tried to ditch the truck. Martinez faces multiple charges including negligent injury, failure to seek help, obstruction, contributing to delinquency, and driving without a license. The teen also got a citation for not calling for help. Sheriff calls it “foolishness” that now puts two lives at risk—a chilling reminder of how fast things can spiral when judgment fails.
