Single-Vehicle Crash Claims the Life of Winnsboro Man

Franklin Parish – On Sunday, October 27, 2024, shortly after 4:00 p.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop F began investigating a single-vehicle fatal crash on Louisiana Highway 562 near Drane Loop. The crash claimed the life of 50-year-old Kevin Crain of Winnsboro.

The initial investigation revealed that a 1999 Infinity QX4, driven by Crain, was traveling east on Louisiana Highway 562. For reasons still under investigation, the Infinity traveled off the right side of the road and struck a tree.

Crain, who was unrestrained, was pronounced dead at the scene. Although impairment is not suspected, routine toxicology samples were collected and will be submitted for analysis. 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. Follow all traffic laws and ensure that every occupant is properly restrained. While not all crashes are survivable, taking simple precautions such as these can often mean the difference between life and death.
