Fatal train crash caused by driver disregarding crossbars leads to two deaths.
Early Monday morning in Shreveport, a tragic accident involving a train and a car resulted in the loss of two lives. The incident occurred on Oct. 6, 2025, around 2:09 a.m. on East 85th Street near Fairfield Avenue. Authorities swiftly responded, with the Shreveport Police and Fire departments arriving on the scene. Upon arrival, first responders found that the driver and one passenger had suffered fatal injuries. Initial reports suggest that the maroon Nissan Armada was traveling eastbound on East 85th Street and went around the lowered warning arm at the railroad crossing despite the flashing red lights. Subsequently, a freight train struck the vehicle on the driver’s side, causing it to overturn and eject its occupants. Another passenger, who was in the front seat during the crash, was located later and taken to Ochsner LSU Medical Center for treatment. The investigation into this tragic event is ongoing, led by the Shreveport Police Crash Investigations Unit.
