Motorcyclist Killed in Acadia Parish Crash

Egan - On August 21, 2024, shortly before 6:00 a.m., Troopers with Louisiana State Police Troop I responded to a single-vehicle crash on I-10 East near the Egan Exit. The crash claimed the life of 46-year-old Terrance Delahoussaye of New Iberia.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2021 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, driven by Delahoussaye, was traveling eastbound on I-10. For reasons still under investigation, the Harley-Davidson traveled off the roadway to the left and struck a guardrail causing Delahoussaye to be ejected.

Delahoussaye, who was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, received fatal injuries and died at the scene.

Standard toxicology samples were taken and submitted for analysis. This crash is still under investigation.
