Calhoun – This morning, shortly before 1:00 a.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop F began investigating a two-vehicle fatal crash on Interstate 20 eastbound, just west of the milepost 103 exit. The crash claimed the life of 22-year-old Braydyn McIlroy of Sunbury, Pennsylvania.
The initial investigation revealed that a 2023 Toyota Corolla, driven by McIlroy, was traveling in the right eastbound lane of Interstate 20, with its emergency flashers activated. At the same time, a 2022 Ford F-150 was also traveling east on Interstate 20 behind the Toyota. For reasons still under investigation, the Ford struck the rear of the Corolla.
McIlroy, who was properly restrained, sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene. The driver of the Ford was properly restrained and uninjured. Although impairment is not suspected, routine toxicology samples were collected and will be submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.
Far too often, troopers witness the tragic consequences of preventable crashes. Never drive impaired, fatigued, or distracted. Always wear your seatbelt, obey posted speed limits, and exercise patience. Rushing can lead to impulsive decisions and reckless driving. While not all crashes are survivable, taking these simple precautions can often mean the difference between life and death.
