Tickfaw, LA — The community of Tangipahoa Parish is mourning the tragic loss of Austin B. Gentry, 26, of Independence, who was fatally struck in a secondary crash on Interstate 55 late Saturday night. The incident occurred shortly after an initial crash on the southbound side of the interstate, resulting in a heartbreaking chain of events that claimed Austin’s life.

According to the Louisiana State Police, the original crash involved Austin Gentry and occurred around 11 p.m. While waiting for emergency personnel to arrive, Gentry exited his vehicle and attempted to cross the northbound lanes of the interstate. During this dangerous maneuver, he was struck by a 2010 Toyota Corolla traveling northbound. Tragically, Austin sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

State troopers emphasized the dangers of crossing roadways in areas without illumination, particularly on high-speed interstates, and urged drivers and pedestrians alike to exercise extreme caution.

This tragic loss has sent shockwaves through the community. Family, friends, and residents remember Austin as a vibrant young man whose life was cut far too short. Tributes poured in across social media, with loved ones sharing memories of his kindness, humor, and the positive impact he had on everyone who knew him.

As Tangipahoa Parish reflects on this tragedy, authorities remind the public of the importance of safety when involved in or near roadway incidents. Keeping vehicles visible, remaining in safe areas, and waiting for emergency personnel can prevent additional injuries or fatalities.
