A single-vehicle fatality crash on La. 749 at Grace Street at 3:30 p.m. Friday ultimately took the life of 20-year-old Jason Guillory of Washington, according to a news release from Louisiana State Police Troop I.
The preliminary investigation revealed Guillory was traveling south on La. 749 in a 2009 Ford Mustang. For reasons still under investigation, Guillory crossed the centerline after entering a left curve and ran off of the roadway. His vehicle struck a ditch and began to roll over, causing Guillory to be ejected. He was taken to Lafayette General Hospital where he later died from his injuries.
Impairment is unknown at this time and a standard toxicology report is pending. This crash remains under investigation.
Troop I has investigated 35 fatal crashes resulting in 38 deaths in 2020.
