Gonzales Man Killed in Single-Vehicle Caldwell Parish Crash

Hebert – On Monday, September 8, 2025, shortly after 4:00 p.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop F began investigating a fatal single-vehicle crash on Louisiana Highway 133 just south of Lovelady Road. The crash claimed the life of 50-year-old Philip Gill of Gonzales.

The initial investigation revealed that Gill was driving a 2016 Ford F550 south on Louisiana Highway 133. For reasons still under investigation, the Ford traveled off the left side of the road, struck a tree, and overturned.

Gill, who was properly restrained, suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. The front seat passenger, who was also properly restrained, received minor injuries and was transported to an area hospital. Routine toxicology samples were collected and will be submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.

Louisiana State Police would like to remind motorists to slow down, buckle up, and lessen their distractions. Crash forces do not care who you are or what you drive. The faster you drive, the greater the risk of serious injury or death; not wearing a seat belt dramatically increases that risk.
