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.
