Troopers Investigate Fatal Single-Vehicle Crash in West Feliciana Parish

TROOP A NEWS RELEASE
January 28, 2026

Saint Francisville – Shortly after 9:00 a.m. on January 28, 2026, Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop A began investigating a single-vehicle crash on LA 10 at LA 965 in West Feliciana Parish. The crash claimed the life of 49-year-old Jason Freeman of St. Francisville.

The preliminary investigation revealed that Freeman was driving a 1999 Ford F-150 east on LA 10, just east of LA 965, and approaching a slight left-hand curve. For reasons still under investigation, Freeman failed to negotiate the left-hand curve and traveled off the right side of the road, struck a tree, and became fully engulfed in flames.

Freeman suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased on the scene. Due to the severity of the crash, seatbelt usage is unknown. Impairment is not a suspected factor in this crash; however, a routine toxicology sample 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 always ensure 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.
