Wisner Man Killed in Catahoula Parish Crash

Catahoula Parish – On June 30, 2025, at approximately 4:54 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop E responded to a two-vehicle crash on Louisiana Highway 425 at Grayson Road. The crash claimed the life of 43-year-old Joshua Boies of Wisner.

The initial investigation revealed that a 2022 Ford F-150 and a 2010 Toyota Corolla, driven by Boies, were northbound on Louisiana Highway 425. For reasons still under investigation, Boies failed to slow down and rear-ended the Ford F-150. As a result, the Corolla exited the roadway and overturned. This action ejected Boies from the vehicle.

Boies, who was not restrained, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead. The driver of the Ford F-150, who was restrained, sustained no injuries. A toxicology sample was obtained and submitted for analysis.

Although not all crashes are survivable, proper use of seat belts can greatly decrease an occupant’s chance of death and may greatly reduce the extent of injury. Always ensuring every occupant is properly restrained can often mean the difference between life and death.
