Man killed in crash after speeding on highway in East Feliciana Parish, state police say

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Louisiana State Police troopers urge drivers to make safe decisions while behind the wheel following a crash in East Feliciana Parish that left a 21-year-old man dead.

On Wednesday, May 21, troopers responded to the scene around 11 p.m. on LA 68, just north of LA 10, and learned Michael Lillie, of Jackson, was driving a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe at a high rate of speed.

According to LSP, Lillie failed to navigate a left-hand curve. The vehicle then ran off the road, hit a culvert, went airborne, struck a utility pole, and overturned.

Lillie was not wearing a seatbelt and was pronounced dead at the scene. Troopers said impairment is unknown at this time, but a routine toxicology sample was collected for analysis.

“Troopers urge drivers to always make safe decisions behind the wheel: never drive impaired, always wear a seat belt, and avoid distractions. Taking a few extra seconds to buckle up or slow down can be the difference between life and death,” LSP said.
