Kain Galliano, 23, of Galliano, died after his Chevrolet Colorado was struck on the driver’s side while crossing LA 3235 at West 107th Street in Cut Off on September 9, 2026.
Louisiana State Police reported that Galliano was traveling east across the southbound lanes when a southbound Toyota Tundra struck the Chevrolet. Both pickups entered the median and overturned.
Galliano Died at the Scene
Troop C began investigating shortly before 6 p.m. Galliano was driving a 2006 Chevrolet Colorado east on West 107th Street. A 2001 Toyota Tundra was southbound in the left lane of LA 3235.
State Police said the Chevrolet entered the Toyota’s path while crossing the highway. The Tundra driver was restrained, suffered minor injuries and was taken to a hospital.
Troopers said Galliano’s possible impairment was unknown and submitted standard toxicology samples. The Toyota driver showed no signs of impairment and voluntarily provided a breath sample that detected no alcohol.
The Traffic Control at West 107th Street Matters
The release says the Chevrolet failed to yield, but it does not identify the stop or yield control facing traffic on West 107th Street. The actual sign, pavement markings and sight distance should be documented before the intersection changes.
If a stop or yield sign controlled Galliano’s approach, Louisiana Revised Statute 32:123 may apply. The practical questions are whether the Chevrolet stopped or slowed, how far away the Tundra was and how long it was visible before the crossing began.
The preliminary failure-to-yield description is important evidence. It is not a substitute for the final reconstruction.
The Driver-Side Impact and Rollovers Should Be Reconstructed
Damage to the Chevrolet’s driver side and the Toyota’s front may help establish the impact angle and vehicle orientation. Tire marks, gouges and disturbed ground in the median can show the movement after impact.
Because both pickups are older models, the amount of electronic crash data may be limited. A qualified inspection should determine what modules are present rather than promise data that may not exist.
Nearby traffic, business or residential video could show the vehicles approaching the intersection even if no camera captured the collision itself.
Any Civil Claim Must Follow the Complete Evidence
The preliminary account does not identify fault by the Toyota driver. If later evidence supports a claim against another party, Louisiana’s wrongful-death and survival statutes may be relevant to Galliano’s eligible family members.
The Tundra driver may also have an injury or property claim if the final evidence supports the reported right-of-way account. Notice to an insurer is not an admission of liability.
Both vehicles and every potentially applicable automobile policy should be identified and preserved. For help evaluating a fatal intersection crash or reviewing insurance coverage, contact Babcock Injury Lawyers.
