Bogalusa, Louisiana - On March 13, 2025, at approximately 5:50 a.m., Louisiana State Police Troop L responded to a tragic single-vehicle crash on Louisiana Highway 21 near Easterling Landing Road in Washington Parish. The incident claimed the life of 34-year-old Joshua J. Curry, a resident of Covington, Louisiana.

According to preliminary findings from the investigation, Curry was driving a 2014 GMC Yukon northbound on LA Hwy 21 when he failed to navigate a left-hand curve. As a result, the vehicle veered off the roadway, overturned, and ultimately collided with a nearby residence.

Emergency personnel pronounced him dead at the scene of the incident. In accordance with standard procedures, a toxicology sample was obtained from Curry for further analysis to determine if substances may have contributed to the crash.
