Church Point – On April 11, 2026, shortly after 8:00 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop I began investigating a fatal two-vehicle crash on Louisiana Highway 95 near Wikoff Cove Drive in Acadia Parish.  The crash claimed the life of 17-year-old Hayden Castille of Branch.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2005 Honda TRX90 ATV was traveling north on LA Hwy 95. At the same time, a 2008 Audi Q7 was also traveling north on LA Hwy 95 and approaching the ATV from the rear. For reasons still under investigation, the Audi struck the rear of the ATV, causing it to overturn and eject Castille. At the time of the crash, the ATV did not have lights illuminated.

Castille sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the Audi was not properly restrained and reported no injuries. This crash remains under investigation.

Troopers wish to remind the public that the use of ATVs and UTVs on roadways is illegal unless directly related to farming or other duties outlined by Louisiana Revised Statute 32:299. Operation is limited to daylight hours. Additionally, properly utilizing safety equipment, such as DOT-approved helmets while on motorcycles, ATVs, and UTVs and seatbelts when riding in UTVs can decrease the risk of serious injury or death.
