33-year-old Deairio Loggins killed in two-vehicle Union Parish crash
FARMERVILLE, La. — A two-vehicle crash in Union Parish on the morning of May 1, 2026, claimed the life of a 33-year-old Bernice man, according to Louisiana State Police.
Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop F responded shortly after 11:00 a.m. to the crash on Louisiana Highway 15, just north of Louisiana Highway 549. The victim has been identified as Deairio Loggins, 33, of Bernice.
Preliminary findings indicate that Loggins was driving a 2012 Nissan Altima southbound on Louisiana Highway 15 when, for reasons still under investigation, his vehicle traveled off the right side of the roadway.
Authorities say Loggins attempted to correct his path by steering left but overcorrected, causing the vehicle to cross both lanes and enter the northbound lane.
The Nissan then moved directly into the path of an oncoming 2021 Chevrolet Blazer traveling northbound.
The Chevrolet struck the Nissan in the northbound lane, resulting in a severe collision.
Loggins, who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Chevrolet Blazer, who was properly restrained, suffered moderate injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Louisiana State Police confirmed that the crash remains under active investigation.
Troopers continue to examine all contributing factors, including roadway conditions and driver actions at the time of the incident.
Authorities also took the opportunity to remind motorists of the importance of seatbelt use, noting that proper restraint can significantly reduce the risk of fatal injuries in serious crashes.
Three young lives were tragically lost in a fiery head-on collision early Wednesday morning, November 4, 2026, on Highway 158 near Happy Hill Road in Stokesdale, Guilford County, North Carolina.
Authorities have identified the victims as 16-year-old Baisley, 22-year-old Saige Richardson, and 27-year-old Tyler Robinson. Their deaths have left three families grieving an unimaginable loss and have deeply saddened those who knew and loved them.
According to the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred shortly after 2 a.m. when two vehicles traveling in opposite directions collided head-on along Highway 158.
The force of the impact caused both vehicles to catch fire. Emergency responders arrived at the scene, but all three individuals involved in the collision were pronounced dead at the location.
The victims were identified as Baisley, Saige Richardson, and Tyler Robinson. They were 16, 22, and 27 years old, respectively. Each had a life of their own, with relationships, hopes, and plans for the future. Their sudden deaths have left loved ones facing a devastating reality.
Following the collision, Highway 158 was closed for several hours as emergency crews and investigators worked at the scene. The roadway reopened at approximately 5:35 a.m.
The North Carolina State Highway Patrol continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash. The cause of the collision has not yet been determined, and officials have not released further details about what may have led to the two vehicles striking each other.
The deaths of Baisley, Saige Richardson, and Tyler Robinson are a heartbreaking reminder of how quickly lives can change. At just 16, 22, and 27, all three had so much life ahead of them. Their loss will be felt most deeply by their families, friends, and everyone whose lives they touched.
For their loved ones, the days ahead will bring the difficult task of navigating grief while holding on to the memories of those they have lost. Three families are now left with an absence that words cannot fully describe.
