Arkansas Man Killed in Commercial Motor Vehicle Crash

Webster Parish – On May 28, 2020, shortly after 8:15 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop G responded to a fatal crash on Louisiana Highway 159 north of Louisiana Highway 2. This crash claimed the life of 40-year-old Adam Kennedy of Crossett, Arkansas.

The preliminary investigation revealed Kennedy was driving a 2013 Freightliner truck pulling a flatbed trailer northbound on Louisiana Highway 159. According to witnesses and the crash scene investigation, Kennedy’s vehicle gradually drifted off the left side of the highway and continued traveling in a ditch until striking a tree.

Kennedy, who was properly restrained, sustained fatal injuries during the crash. Impairment is not a suspected factor in this crash; however, a toxicology sample was obtained and submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.

In 2020, Troop G has investigated eight fatal crashes resulting in eight deaths.
