Ollison sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased on scene by the St. Landry Parish Coroner's Office. It is unknown if impairment is a factor of the crash and standard toxicology tests are pending. This crash remains under investigation and there is no further information at this time.
Troopers wish to remind motorists to always make good decisions while in a motor vehicle. Never drive while impaired, fatigued, or distracted, always ensure every occupant is properly restrained, and follow all traffic laws. While not all crashes are survivable, taking simple precautions such as these can often mean the difference between life and death.
