Louisiana State Police Troop G Troopers responded to a two-vehicle crash on Dec. 8 around 3:40 am on Interstate 49 near Asseff Road. The crash claimed the life of Travion Miller, 31 of Coushatta.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2024 Mack Tractor, driven by Miller, was traveling north on Interstate 49. For reasons still under investigation, the Mack exited the roadway, collided with an unoccupied parked vehicle, traveled up an embankment, and overturned.

Miller, whose restraint use is unknown due to the severity of the crash, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene. Impairment is not suspected; however, standard toxicology samples were collected and submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.

While the cause of this crash remains under investigation, Louisiana State Police urges all motorists to obey traffic laws and remain alert while driving. While not all crashes are survivable, taking simple precautions such as these can mean the difference between life and death.
