Angie Man Killed in Washington Parish Crash

Bogalusa – On July 17, 2025, at approximately 1:10 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop L began investigating a two-vehicle serious injury crash on LA Hwy 21 near Lon Miley Road in Washington Parish. The crash claimed the life of 64-year-old Tommy J. Dollar of Angie.

Preliminary investigation revealed that a 2025 International HX520 truck was traveling on a logging road toward LA Hwy 21. Simultaneously, a 2010 Dodge Ram, driven by Dollar, was traveling southbound on LA Hwy 21. For reasons still under investigation, the International entered the intersection and traveled directly into the path of the Dodge, which struck the International on the driver’s side.

Dollar, who was unrestrained, sustained serious injuries and was transported to a local hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. The driver of the International, who was properly restrained, was uninjured. As part of the ongoing investigation, routine toxicology tests were performed on both drivers. This crash remains under investigation.

Troopers wish to remind motorists to always remain vigilant when approaching and entering intersections. Always come to a complete stop where required, scan for oncoming traffic in all directions, and proceed only when it is safe to do so. Obeying traffic signals and right-of-way rules, avoiding distractions, and never driving while impaired are critical steps in preventing serious crashes and saving lives.
