Alexandria, LA for release (11/30/25)
On November 30, 2025, at approximately 4:29 AM, the Alexandria Police Department responded to a three-vehicle crash on southbound I-49 that resulted in one fatality.
The preliminary investigation indicates that a red GMC Acadia, driven by 28-year-old Danielle Jones, was traveling southbound when it left the roadway and struck a guardrail. The initial impact caused the vehicle to become disabled in the middle of the roadway. Moments later, due to heavy rainfall and significantly reduced visibility, the disabled Acadia was struck by two additional southbound vehicles, resulting in a secondary collision.
Jones sustained critical injuries and was transported to a local hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries.
This is currently an ongoing investigation.
