Jonesboro Man Killed in Single-Vehicle Jackson Parish Crash

Wyatt - On Sunday, January 19, 2024, shortly before 6:00 a.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop F began investigating a single-vehicle fatal crash on Siloam Church Road east of Louisiana Highway 505. The crash claimed the life of 59-year-old Randy Culpepper of Jonesboro.

The initial investigation revealed that a 2005 Dodge Ram, driven by Culpepper, was traveling east on Siloam Church Road. For reasons still under investigation, the Dodge traveled off the right side of the road and struck a tree.

Culpepper, who was unrestrained, was pronounced dead at the scene. Although impairment is not a suspected factor in this crash, routine toxicology samples were collected and will be submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.

Troopers wish to remind motorists to always make good decisions while in a motor vehicle. Never drive impaired, fatigued, or distracted. Follow all traffic laws and ensure every occupant is properly restrained. While not all crashes are survivable, taking simple precautions such as these can often mean the difference between life and death.
