Mer Rouge Man Killed in Single-Vehicle Morehouse Parish Crash

Bastrop - On Friday, December 27, 2024, shortly before 2:00 p.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop F began investigating a single-vehicle fatal crash on Louisiana Highway 2 east of U.S. Highway 165. The crash claimed the life of 61-year-old James Boudreaux of Mer Rouge.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a 1995 Dodge Ram, driven by Boudreaux, was traveling east on Louisiana Highway 2. For reasons still under investigation, the Dodge traveled off the left of the road and overturned.

Boudreaux, who was properly restrained, suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. 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.
