A Crowley man has died following a Monday morning crash in Acadia Parish

Louisiana State Police Troop I says that Troopers responded around 10:30 a.m. on April 6, 2020, to a single-vehicle crash on LA Hwy 365 near Heinen Road in Acadia Parish. The crash, troopers say, ultimately took the life of 78-year-old Ronald Lawson of Crowley.

Troop I says that Impairment is not suspected but standard toxicology samples were obtained for analysis.
