Unrestrained Driver Killed in Single-Vehicle Union Parish Crash

Downsville – On Wednesday, September 16, 2026, shortly before 10:00 p.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop F began investigating a fatal crash on Mosleys Bluff Road near Johnny Chevallier Road. The crash claimed the life of a 37-year-old Downsville man.

The initial investigation revealed that a 2013 Ford F-150 was traveling west on Mosleys Bluff Road when it veered right, left the roadway, and struck a tree. 

The driver was unrestrained and died at the scene. Although impairment is not suspected, routine toxicology samples were collected and will be submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.

While not all crashes are survivable, statistics show that properly wearing a seat belt dramatically reduces your chances of being severely injured or killed in a crash. Louisiana law requires every person in a vehicle, regardless of seating position, to remain properly restrained at all times. Properly wearing your seat belt is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and reduce the risk of serious injury or death in a crash.
