Christopher Guillory, 30, of Iota died from injuries suffered in a two-vehicle crash on La. 3070 (McCain Road) near Ellis Road in Acadia Parish at about 7 a.m. Tuesday, according to a Louisiana State Police Troop I news release.
The preliminary investigation revealed a 1997 Ford F150, driven by Guillory, was traveling north on La. 3070. At the same time, a 2013 Toyota Tacoma pickup was traveling south on La. 3070. For reasons still under investigation, Guillory’s F150 crossed the center line. The F150 struck the Tacoma head-on in the southbound lane of travel.
Troopers determined Guillory was unrestrained at the time of the crash. He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The driver of the Tacoma was also unrestrained and was taken to a local hospital in critical condition. Toxicology samples were taken from both drivers and results are pending. This crash remains under investigation.
Troop I has investigated 43 fatal crashes resulting in 48 deaths since the beginning of 2020.
