Once the immediate danger has passed, get the investigating agency’s name, preserve the original photographs and recordings, and notify your insurer. Those steps give you a usable record when questions about repairs, injuries, and fault arrive….

In the September 16 collision on LA 13 near Crowley, a 38-year-old Lake Charles man died while riding in a Dodge Nitro. The preliminary account from Louisiana State Police says both moving vehicles crossed the…

Bryan Keith Comeaux’s September 2026 arrest followed an investigation into the December 10, 2025 collision that killed Blake Landry on LA 70 in Pierre Part. The Assumption Parish Sheriff’s Office announcement identifies a negligent-homicide prosecution and two booking allegations. It does not establish a conviction or decide a civil claim. The collision and the…
The restraint evidence in the fatal Butte La Rose crash matters to injury mechanics.

Louisiana State Police said a…

Recovering the suspected hit-and-run vehicle was an important step in the Dutchtown Lane investigation. It did not, by itself, answer who was driving when a 22-year-old pedestrian was struck outside her Geismar home.

A $1 million bond ruling in the Collin Lacaze hit-and-run case did not decide guilt. What it did was put several pieces of the prosecution’s evidence into the public record, including surveillance footage, vehicle debris, an alleged statement and a blood-test result that an officer described as negative. Collin Lacaze, a 16-year-old Alexandria Senior…
The first public accounts of the Perkins Road crash leave a basic fact unresolved: which vehicle Malachi Antoine was driving. That gap matters because the two drivers occupied very different positions in the reported sequence. Antoine, 22, died after the September 15, 2026 collision near Bles Avenue in Baton Rouge. WAFB and WBRZ reported…
The encouraging news from a serious head-on crash near Roanoke was that a four-month-old child was expected to recover. The investigation still raises two separate questions: why one vehicle crossed the centerline, and whether the way the infant carrier was installed made the child’s injuries worse.
