A tragic accident on the Pine Highway Sunday morning claimed the life of a young Franklinton man.
Louisiana State Troopers reported that Hayden S. Davis, age 20, was killed in the crash, which occurred at about 10 a.m.
The report from the state police indicates that Davis was driving a 2008 Infiniti G35 east on the Pine Highway (LA436).
As Davis drove eastbound, he approached a 2026 Kia K5, which was also traveling east. For reasons still under investigation, Davis tried to pass the Kia in a no-passing zone. His car collided with the Kia.
The impact of the collision forced Davis’ car off the highway, and once if left the roadway it then overturned.
Davis wasn’t using a seat belt and he was ejected from his vehicle. He died at the scene of the accident.
