Late Night UTV Crash on LA 5 Claims the Life of Louisiana Man

Louisiana – Louisiana State Police reported on July 11, 2022, that on July 10, 2022, just before 11:00 p.m., Troopers assigned to LSP Troop G began investigating a one-vehicle fatality crash involving a (UTV) utility terrain vehicle on LA Hwy 5 at the intersection of Bates Road. Jaquentin Brokenberry, 30, of Frierson, Louisiana, was killed in the crash.
The initial investigation revealed that a Brokenberry was driving a 2016 Can-Am UTV north on LA Hwy 5. He ran off the road, overturned, and was ejected as he attempted to turn onto Bates Road.
