GEISMAR —- On Sunday morning, a 25-year-man lost his life after crossing over the center line on Hwy. 30, State Police troopers say.
It was around 7:20 a.m. on Jan. 4th when troopers responded to a single-vehicle crash on Hwy. 30, south of Hwy. 3115 in Ascension Parish.
Jalen Davis, 25, of Hammond, died in the crash.
The investigation from State Police so far shows a 2025 Peterbilt tractor-trailer was driving west on Hwy. 30, near Gateway Drive. At the same time, Davis was driving a 2021 Hyundai Sonata east when for unknown reasons, Davis crossed the centerline and hit the left back side of the tanker trailer.
Troopers say Davis was not wearing a seatbelt, had severe injuries and was transported to a local hospital, where he later died.
The driver of the Peterbilt was properly buckled and was uninjured.
Impairment is unknown at this time but routine toxicology results are pending. This crash remains under investigation.
