Fatal Thibodaux crash follows high-speed pursuit
The Louisiana State Police are currently looking into a fatal crash that took place in Thibodaux on Wednesday evening. The incident claimed the life of 36-year-old Thibodaux resident, Isaiah Thomas. The State Police reported that at approximately 9 p.m., a deputy from Lafourche Parish attempted to pull over Thomas on Louisiana Highway 308. Thomas then proceeded to lead the deputy on a high-speed pursuit along the highway. The chase was eventually terminated by the deputy, but Thomas continued to speed on the road. He later attempted to overtake a vehicle in the northbound lane, resulting in a collision with a Honda, as well as sideswiping a Nissan and a Ford F-150 in the southbound lane. Unfortunately, Thomas was not wearing a seatbelt and passed away at the scene. The other drivers involved in the crash sustained minor injuries. Superintendent Chris Kimball from the St. James Public School District was also injured in the accident and is currently in recovery. The District has issued a statement requesting that Mr. Kimball and his family's privacy be respected during this time.
