Crowley Motorist Killed in Acadia Parish Crash

Crowley – On Thursday, June 5, 2025, shortly after 12:00 p.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop I began investigating a two-vehicle fatality crash on Louisiana Highway 13 near its intersection with Airport Road. The crash claimed the life of 60-year-old Roderick Boullion of Crowley.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis, driven by Boullion, was traveling north on LA Hwy 13. At the same time, a 2019 Kenworth Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) was traveling south. For reasons still under investigation, the Mercury crossed the center line and into the path of the CMV. As a result, the CMV struck the Mercury head-on.

Boullion was properly restrained, suffered fatal injuries, and died at the scene. The driver of the CMV was properly restrained and uninjured.

A routine toxicology sample was obtained from Boullion and submitted for analysis. The driver of the CMV was not suspected of being impaired and voluntarily provided a breath sample which revealed no alcohol detected. This crash remains under investigation.

Troopers wish to remind motorists to always make good decisions while in a motor vehicle. Never drive impaired, fatigued or distracted, and follow all traffic laws. While not all crashes are survivable, taking simple precautions such as these can often mean the difference between life and death.
