Unrestrained 21 Year Old Passenger Killed in Ascension Parish Crash

Gonzales – Shortly after 9:30 pm on May 22, 2015, Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop A began investigating a single vehicle fatality crash that occurred on US Hwy 61 south of LA Hwy 621 in Ascension Parish. The crash took the life of 21-year-old Dylan T. Martin of Gonzales, LA.

The initial investigation by State Police revealed that the crash occurred as 24-year-old Jason L. Williams of Gonzales was driving a 2005 Suzuki Forenza southbound on US Hwy 61. For unknown reasons, the Suzuki ran off the roadway to the right. After leaving the roadway, the vehicle struck a culvert causing it to roll several times before coming to rest on its roof.

Martin (the front seat passenger) was unrestrained at the time of the crash and was partially ejected from the vehicle. He suffered fatal injuries as a result. Williams was properly restrained at the time of the crash. He was transported from the scene to Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center with minor injuries. Impairment on his part is a possible factor, and a toxicology sample was taken from him and submitted to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for analysis. Williams was charged with LRS 32:58 – Careless operation. This crash remains under investigation, and further charges may be pending.

Troopers wish to remind motorists of the importance of seat belt use, especially during a busy Memorial Day holiday. Louisiana State Police is currently participating in the nationwide Click It or Ticket initiative and will be proactively seeking unrestrained drivers and their passengers. Louisiana law requires all occupants to be properly restrained regardless of seating position. While not all crashes are survivable, occupants who are properly restrained are much less likely to be seriously injured or killed in the event of a crash.
