LaSalle Parish Crash Claims Life of Juvenile; Driver Arrested for Vehicular Homicide

LaSalle Parish – On Friday, July 17, 2026, at approximately 4:49 a.m., Louisiana State Police Troop E responded to a fatal crash on Hunt Road near Dewey Wills WMA. This crash claimed the life of 16-year-old Kent Sanson of Deville.

The initial investigation revealed that a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by 18-year-old Reese McKenzie of Deville, was traveling north on Hunt Road. For reasons still under investigation, McKenzie lost control of the vehicle, which caused it to leave the roadway and overturn. Sequentially, multiple passengers were ejected from the vehicle.

McKenzie, who was not restrained, sustained moderate injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Sanson, who also was not restrained, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead. Five additional passengers, who also were not restrained, sustained moderate injuries and were transported to a local hospital for treatment. Routine toxicology samples were obtained and submitted for analysis. Impairment is a suspected factor in this crash.

As a result of the investigation, LSP placed McKenzie under arrest for careless operation of a vehicle, open container, operating a vehicle while impaired, vehicular negligent injuring (3 counts), and vehicular homicide. McKenzie was transported and processed at the LaSalle Parish Sheriff’s Office. This crash remains under investigation.

Louisiana State Police would like to remind all motorists that if you feel differently, you drive differently. Alcohol, prescription drugs, and other drugs have many effects on the body that negatively affect driving skills. These drugs can impair visual ability, alter the sense of time and space, impair fine motor skills needed to operate a motor vehicle, and decrease reaction times. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and designate a sober driver. Not doing so can have deadly consequences.

Driver Arrested for Vehicular Homicide in Tangipahoa Parish Crash

Tickfaw – On July 17, 2026, at approximately 11:00 p.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop L responded to a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 55 near LA Highway 442 in Tangipahoa Parish. The crash claimed the life of 26-year-old Randall P. Belaire of St. Martinville.

The initial investigation revealed that a 2026 Kia Carnival, driven by 27-year-old Brianna L. Hutson of Magnolia, Mississippi, was traveling south on Interstate 55. At the same time, a 2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer was disabled with its hazard lights active and stopped on the right shoulder of Interstate 55. For reasons still under investigation, the Kia traveled off the roadway to the right and struck the rear of the Chevrolet.

The driver of the Chevrolet and three other passengers, who were all properly restrained, sustained minor injuries and were transported to a local hospital for treatment. Hutson and a front-seat passenger of the Kia, who were both properly restrained, sustained minor injuries and were transported to a local hospital for treatment. Belaire, who was an unrestrained rear-seat passenger in the Kia, sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene.

During the investigation, Hutson showed signs of impairment and was subsequently arrested. After she was medically cleared from a local hospital, she was booked into the Tangipahoa Parish Correctional Facility for Vehicular Homicide, Vehicular Negligent Injuring (5 Counts), Careless Operation, and Open Container. As part of the ongoing investigation, routine toxicology samples were collected for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.

Louisiana State Police remind all motorists of the dangers of impaired driving, which can have devastating consequences whether caused by alcohol, drugs, or a combination of the two. Motorists are urged to make responsible decisions by never driving while impaired, always ensuring all occupants are properly restrained, and avoiding distractions while driving. While not all crashes are survivable, taking simple precautions such as these can often mean the difference between life and death. To report hazardous driving, dial *LSP (*577).
