Unrestrained Driver Killed in Ouachita Parish Crash

West Monroe – Earlier today, shortly before 6:00 a.m., Louisiana State Police Troop F responded to a single-vehicle fatal crash on LA Hwy 546 just south of Interstate 20. This crash claimed the life of 53-year-old Kevin McGuire of Chatham.

The initial investigation revealed a 2003 Chevrolet Suburban, driven by McGuire, was traveling northbound on LA Hwy 546 when it struck a tree that had fallen across the road.

McGuire, who was unrestrained, sustained fatal injuries during the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene.

A toxicology sample was obtained and submitted for analysis. The crash remains under investigation.

Buckling up is the most effective way to protect yourself during a vehicle crash. Failure to take a few seconds to buckle up can have devastating consequences. Louisiana law requires every person in a vehicle, regardless of seating position, to be properly restrained day or night.

In 2021, Troop F has investigated 18 fatal crashes resulting in 21 deaths.
