Driver Killed in Tangipahoa Parish Crash (3)

Fluker – On March 16, 2025, at approximately 2:00 a.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop L responded to a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 55, just north of LA Hwy 10 in Tangipahoa Parish. The crash resulted in a fatality, and the identity of the driver is being withheld pending proper identification and notification of the next of kin.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2025 Honda Civic was traveling southbound on Interstate 55. For reasons still under investigation, the Honda veered off the roadway, struck an embankment, and collided head-on with a tree. Following the crash, the vehicle caught fire and became fully engulfed in flames.

The driver was pronounced deceased at the scene. As part of the ongoing investigation, a routine toxicology sample was obtained for analysis.

Troopers remind motorists of the importance of making responsible decisions while operating a motor vehicle. Never drive impaired, fatigued, or distracted. Additionally, Louisiana law requires that every occupant of a motor vehicle, regardless of seating position, remain properly restrained at all times. While not all crashes are survivable, taking simple precautions like these can often mean the difference between life and death.
