CROWLEY, La. — The Louisiana State Police are reporting that a two-vehicle crash on Hwy 3070 near Ellis Road in Acadia Parish Tuesday morning claimed the life of an Iota man.
LSP identified the victim as Christopher Guillory, 30, of Iota.
According to a release from state police, the preliminary investigation revealed a 1997 Ford F150 driven by Guillory was traveling north on LA 3070. At the same time, a 2013 Toyota Tacoma pickup was traveling south on LA 3070.
For reasons still under investigation, the release states, Guillory’s F150 crossed the center line. The F150 struck the Tacoma head-on in the southbound lane of travel.

The driver of the Tacoma was also unrestrained and was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.
Toxicology samples were taken from both drivers and results are pending. This crash remains under investigation.
