| TROOP F NEWS RELEASE May 26, 2020 Unrestrained Driver Killed in Lincoln Parish Crash Lincoln Parish – On May 26, 2020, shortly before 11:00 a.m., Louisiana State Police Troop F responded to a single-vehicle, fatal crash on Louisiana Highway 3005 near Louisiana Highway 563. This crash claimed the life of 30-year-old Rakeem Hammock of Ruston. The preliminary investigation revealed a 2007 Ford Focus, driven by Hammock, was traveling west on Louisiana Highway 3005. For reasons still under investigation, Hammock’s vehicle traveled off the roadway and onto private property where it struck a tree. Hammock, who was unrestrained, was ejected from his vehicle and sustained fatal injuries during the crash. A toxicology sample was obtained and will be submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation. Buckling up is the most effective way to protect yourself in a 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 2020, Troop F has investigated 22 fatal crashes resulting in 23 deaths.
