Paincourtville, Louisiana - Louisiana State Police are investigating a single-vehicle fatal crash on Louisiana Highway 308 near Lucky Street in Assumption Parish that claimed the life of an 18-year-old Napoleonville resident on December 31, 2025.

According to Louisiana State Police Troop C, the incident occurred shortly before 6 p.m. when 18-year-old Jamor Jones of Napoleonville was traveling north on LA Highway 308 on a KTM dirt bike as he approached Lucky Street.
