Fiery Crash on LA 24 Leaves Three Dead in Terrebonne Parish

Schriever, LA- Shortly before 6:30 pm yesterday afternoon, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop C began investigating a two vehicle crash that killed three people on LA 24 in Terrebonne Parish.

The investigation revealed that a 1998 Dodge Ram truck was traveling north on LA 24 near St. George Street in Schriever, LA. The Dodge was being driven by Jordan Mayon (W/M age 19) of Houma, LA. The Dodge was traveling at a high rate of speed on LA 24 as it entered an S curve near the St. George Street intersection. Mayon failed to negotiate the curve and the Dodge began to rotate counter-clockwise as it traveled off the left side of LA 24. The dodge continued across a small grass median where it began to overturn and enter the southbound lanes of LA 24. A 2002 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by Kendric Prince (B/M age 30) of Patterson, LA, was traveling south on LA 24. Prince was unable to avoid the crash and struck the overturned Dodge. Immediately following the impact, both vehicles became engulfed in flames. Mayon, Prince, and a passenger in Prince’s vehicle, Shannon Tassin (B/M age 54) of Reserve, LA, were unable to escape the vehicles and were pronounced dead on the scene by the Terrebonne Parish Coroner’s Office. Due to the extent of damage from the fire, troopers were unable to determine if seat belts were used during the crash.

Alcohol use is unknown at this time and routine toxicology tests are pending. This crash remains under investigation.


Troopers remind drivers to always obey the posted speed limits and drive carefully. While not all crashes are survivable, proper use of seat belts can greatly decrease an occupant’s chance of death and may greatly reduce the extent of injury. Louisiana law requires every vehicle occupant, front seat and back seat, to be properly restrained day or night. Taking the time to buckle up every trip and every time is the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash.



Motorists that witness hazardous situations are urged to call *LSP (*577) and report that activity to the Louisiana State Police.
